My son had a wonderful time
My son was the youngest camper and the smallest camper so I worried about his being accepted. But with the help of the director and staff, he was easily immersed into the games/drills by all. The kids were great and he had a wonderful time. Thank you.

The highlight was the current and returning players impact on our boys. The professionalism, skills, care and unmatched talent of the staff (from trainers to coaches to coordinators) is remarkable and appreciated.
July 2, 2022 -
Highlights include the training, friendly and inspiring staff, the all-around positive energy, the food and dorm experience, and the quality of the facilities. The camp was very well-organized from beginning to end, and the staff were so welcoming and friendly from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out.

invaluable experience
This week provided Gavin with an opportunity to see youth his own age that are far more skilled than himself and provided a much-needed perspective. As parents, we believe you can only improve when you surround yourself with better players than yourself. Gavin has been a big fish in a little pond during middle school. As he moves onto high school, he will have a much better idea of the deep talent in the game. Gavin has a great work ethic and the importance of this was reinforced by this invaluable experience.

will sign up again next year!
Malachi loved the coaching staff and the positive and constructive comments they made! Overall I am super happy we signed up and will sign up again next year!

learned so much from the experience
He loved the whole experience. The coaching from current and former players was great. The whole dorm experience was a true test of his ability to survive the week without family around. He made lots of new friends and learned so much from the experience.

Thank you to all of the coaches
This was my son’s second time with the shooting camp. He loved staying overnight and had lots of fun but learned a lot. When I picked him up he said: Mom, I want to do the whole week next time. I’m gonna say that this camp was a success. Thank you to all of the coaches who gave their time to teach.
