August 12, 2017: My daughter loved her coaches and all the fun games and drills provided. She said the competition between the teams was really fun. With 14 girls from our Clearview team attending it was a great bonding experience for them! Erin has not put her stick down since the camp, it definitely instilled a stronger love for the sport! Thank you and we'll be back next year!

Great camp!
July 20, 2015: Coach Lisa Ewanchyna was great and had such a positive interaction with the girls. My daughter had a great time and learned so much. I especially appreciated that the number of campers was kept to a manageable size, so it allowed for a great ratio of coaches to campers. It was a great experience for her and she will definitely attend camp again.
