My son really enjoyed the camp
My son enjoyed the camp and we really appreciated the personal written feedback given at the end of the camp.
Camper Parent
Liked the pace and drills
It was a wonderful camp- one of the best we participated in this summer! I really like the assessment afterwards. I could tell that they took time with my son and evaluated him fairly on both his strengths and weaknesses. I liked the pace and various drills. The instructors were all very professional and treated the kids with respect and gave them the attention each needed. We will be back next year!!
Camper Parent
