July 1, 2022: The director was phenomenal. She took both of my daughter's aside to help them with specific skills. She did this for everyone. There were a lot of girls at the camp and she made it feel small and personal. It could have easily been the other way around.

June 22, 2023: My daughter had an amazing time and was so sad to leave. She is super excited about her new skills but she is mostly excited about the new community of friends she has built. She is a goalie and I was so excited to hear that all of the goalies now have a text thread so they can reach out at tournaments to see who is there. She came away more confident with better skills and a great group of friends.

June 22, 2023: The highlight was Courtney. We have done this camp for three years and this year my daughter got sick and had to leave. Courtney was really responsive and helpful with my daughter. My other daughter told me that Courtney will walk around to each group and pull girls out individually to help them with specific skills. She is so kind and loves what she does. It's evident in the performance and enthusiasm of the campers! We will for sure do this camp next year. It has become our tradition.
