This was worth every cent to see his smile.
August 2, 2021: Brayden had a fantastic time and talked every night for hours about all the drills, scrimmages & coaches!! He was glad to have the assessment at the end that critiqued his game, he found it very helpful! The staff and coach’s were super nice and helpful! The lunch provided everyday was delicious with a wide variety of options. He said he’s going to miss playing with the camp & coaches. This was worth every cent to see his smile.
