She loved it
My daughter was not going to stay overnight but then changed her mind. The staff's willingness to let her stay was fantastic and they made it as easy as possible. She loved it and wants to come back next year.

I made friends, had lots of fun
I really loved the Nike camp. I made friends, had lots of fun, and learned so much. My high school coach tells me that my game has improved tremendously. Thank you all so much.

My shy daughter was wonderfully encouraged by staff
My daughter attended this camp for the first time. Although her nature is on the shy side, all of the staff members helped her to overcome her fears and helped her feel as if she were always a part of the group. They helped her to become a better person. Coach Nelson went above and beyond. She and her staff were wonderfully encouraging to all who attended. We will definitely be attending next year.

Wonderful experience at Nike Camp
My daughter had a wonderful experience at the Nike girls basketball camp. She jammed her finger and all of the staff members were great in assisting and caring for her. This year she was a day camper. Next year she plans on attending and wants to be an overnight camper!
