So check back for a preview into 2001 theme, it might just change your life. We need more of the right kind of courage. The kind which enables a person to face danger, difficulty, or pain, instead of withdrawing. We need the kind of courage it takes to stand up for the weak, to refuse drugs and alcohol, to make right choices, and to be kind to others. Our Main Event on the first evening of camp is dedicated to the goal of becoming courageous.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all other.
Effort, tenacity, and determination belong to those who can keep on striving throughout the drudgery. On the second night of cam, we urge athletes to not only set athletic goals, academic goals, and personal goals, but to be committed to working toward those goals everyday until they are a reality. An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything, and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men. At NBC camps, we believe good character is more important than reputation, talent, intelligence, fame, wealth, or popularity. Therefore, on the third night of camp we challenge the athletes to begin or continue to live their lives with integrity, while demonstrating honesty, loyalty, and respect.
