Great camp
My daughter loved this camp. Her first text to me was, "this is great, I am hitting like I've never hit before!" She is a freshman trying out for varsity and takes the sport very seriously.
Exciting
This camp absolutely made the long trek out to the campus worth it. Every morning my roommate and I woke up excited to get to spend time with the other campers, players, and staff while playing the sport we love. The staff takes simple drills and makes them exciting, so that you never realize how hard you're working until you look at your shirt! I would definitely go back in a heartbeat and encourage everyone else to do the same!
Go every year
I have gone to the Nike volleyball camp at Dartmouth two summers in a row and I plan to go next summer as well. All aspects of the camp are great, the combined knowledge and experience of the coaching staff is remarkable, I have met many friends there with whom I still stay in touch, the food is surprisingly good, and staying at a beautiful campus like Dartmouth is such a treat! I would definitely recommend this camp to any volleyball player, of any skill level.
Personalized instruction
My daughter came to the camp as a relative beginner, and was given the skills and encouragement to be able to join her high school team. There was a great deal of personalized instruction and the coaches were caring and demanding at the same time. She had a wonderful experience.
Highly recommend
Highgly recommend. Great coaches, great college atmosphere...a memory making experience.
Great coaches
The campers are divided into different levels which is nice because the more advanced campers don't feel bored and the beginner campers don't become embarrassed. It's also good that there is such a large and diverse coaching staff. What I mean by diverse is that for every position there is at least one coach who is knowledgeable and can help the players of that position. Also the range in ages of the coaches is nice because the younger ones are more carefree and bring a sense if fun to the camp while the older ones can implement control and order when needed.
Improved Drastically
"During my time at camp my skill level skyrocketed! It was a lot of work but I'm extremely happy with the results."
Fun AND Challenging
"If you want individual attention and great conditioning by skill, a Nike Camp is a great choice! The staff makes camp fun while still keeping it instructional."

Loved it
I really recomend you give this camp a try. I made such amazing friends. I plan to return. You work hard but it is such a great reward. All the coaches were really nice and will help you without judging. I loved it. I thought I might not like it, but turned out I loved it. You should go.
