Parent of Davenport University Camper
Great Overall Experience
"My daughter attended the camp as a beginner in volleyball and without a friend with her. The staff made her feel comfortable right away. We loved the idea of the suite with a couple of "ready made" friends. They suites were assigned so she did not have to try and pair up with someone immediately. My daughter said the instruction was excellent, games were fun,the water balloon attack was a highlight. As parents we loved the tournament at the end of the week. We were very impressed and hope that Nike brings the camp back to Davenport next summer!"
