Great, quality camp
July 28, 2016: The experience for my little lady was amazing. She had many friends attending and really learned a lot. The music and dancing was provided a fun working, learning atmosphere for the campers. Having a girls coaching staff/ players was also a plus for the other girls to see. Thanks to Coach Bamford and her staff for conducting a quality camp.
