Well done and excellent staff
July 22, 2019: She said she learned so many new things at the camp - and could list all the techniques. She liked making new friends (and getting to know people better). She ended the camp being even more enthusiastic about the sport even though she played on turf during the hottest week ever! So it's got to have been an amazing camp!

She will be back next year!
July 31, 2017: This was my daughter's first sleepaway camp. She loved every minute. Also, I GREATLY appreciated the flexibility in letting her leave with me to participate in her (unexpected) championship softball game. Ms. Morris had the girls cheer her on before leaving instead of resenting the disruption. Mack also felt an enormous amount of camaraderie which can be difficult to cultivate in such a short period of time. She will definitely be back next year!

Loved camp!
July 26, 2018: This is the second year my daughter attended. Wendy Morris and the staff are incredibly supportive and create an environment conducive to learning skills and creating a sense of team. Because she love it so much last year, she was counting the days until camp started this year, and she was not disappointed. She loves the coaches, loves the facilities, loves the independence and just wishes it were a little longer. Cannot thank the staff enough for such a great experience for my daughter.
May 15, 2025 -
Thank you Wendy!
July 21, 2019: Mack looks forward to this camp every year. The director and staff create a strong team spirit while giving the girls enough independence that not only do they learn field hockey skills, but also life skills. Mack is always excited by the improvement she makes each year just by attending this camp. THANK YOU, Wendy and staff.
