Well done!
August 11, 2015: I know it’s corny, but my sons success in Goal is attributable in large measure to the positive reinforcement received at your camps. This summer at a recruiting camp in Baltimore, he said over and over again “I can beat anybody” (and he almost did!). He is very positive about each game, win or lose, and this was learned from counselors at the camps. Well done.
-
This camp is so much fun!
August 8, 2016: This camp is so much fun! The coaches really want to help you and are excited to see you improve. In such a short peroid of time I saw my goalie skills imporve and i feel more confident int he goal already. I loved being able to work with other goalies and meet people who love being a goalie just as much as I do.

really improved his game and had a lot of fun
July 8, 2021: My son felt like he really improved his game and had a lot of fun using all of the unique tools the coaches had to offer. Sometimes my son wished there was a bit more time in between sessions. I know he had fun every time, but I think he got really tired mainly because of the heat in New York.

Absolute great time!
July 12, 2018: Coach, I wanted to send a quick note highlighting that our son had an absolute great time at your camp in New York. He explained how the instructors were fabulous, the other campers were great and the campus was beautiful with lots to do during his free time. We loved the video session he sent. Your camp was just what the doctor ordered. He is currently driving back with him mom and has asked if he can go back next year. See you then.

Having a great time!
July 29, 2017: My wife and I gave our grandson this trip as a birthday present. It was his first time away from home without his parents. We had heard so many good things about this camp. When he called us the second day he sounded so happy and told us he was having a great time with the coaches and other lax players there. When we came to pick him up,he showed us around. This was truly a learning experience and we asked if he would like to return again in the future and he said yes. My wife and I are proud of our grandson
