Great interaction between girls and staff
My daughter loved the whole experience of the Nike Soccer Camp at Adelphi. She loved the interaction between the girls and the staff. She learned so much while having so much fun! She enjoyed the college campus feel and touring the school. Could not say enough about it, and always with a great big smile!!
