Best Camp
One day earlier this summer I was reading my local paper and found an advertisement for your camp! I suggested it to my son, and he was a little hesitant, but he then decided to give it a try. My son just finished the week long basketball camp for boys at Barnstable High School. I was so impressed with all the counselors. It was such a positive atmosphere! Even though my son had some serious blisters after day 2, he still wanted to go every morning! Thanks to the trainer who taped up his ankles the last few days!
Although there was a small turn-out for the boys, the program was fantastic and Bret was awesome. My son is thinking about going to an overnight camp next year, along with attending the clinic at BHS!! I only wish you had more clinics at BHS during the pre-season.
When I picked him up on Friday I asked him, "So what did you think?" Will's response was, "That was the best camp ever!" You can bet that I will be passing along his sentiments to friends who have boys who play basketball, so hopefully there will be more boys next summer at the BHS camp!
