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.

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!

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.
