This camp increased her confidence!

The camp was definitely worth the time and money.
July 28, 2021: Nico said he learned new skills. The camp was competitive. He enjoyed the friendly coaching staff. As a parent, I had safety concerns about the pick up and drop off points at the venue. Staff addressed the issue immediately. We were allowed to drop off and pick up from a secured parking lot close to the building without paying a fee each time we went out. I was very satisfied with the response. I also loved how the camp used social media to highlight the activities in camp. The camp was definitely worth the time and money.

He was pumped!
July 17, 2021: Vinny had a great time getting to compete against players his age and size but also connecting with the older players and coaches as well. He came home each day with stories about things that went well and things to work harder at. His biggest highlights were receiving his camp awards on the final day. He was pumped!

Fantastic group of coaches!
June 29, 2019: One of his highlights was telling me that all the coaches knew his name. Watching the awards ceremony, I saw how connected the coaches were with each camper. Each coach had something awesome to say about each camper, whether it was 110% effort or funniest camper. Fantastic group of coaches!
