  • Loved seeing the recognition of so many kiddos each day! Coaches/staff were very energetic and encouraging - this makes a HUGE difference for the kids' experience! Thanks for making it a great week! My son really enjoyed it - it was one of his favorites of the summer!
  • Every day, when I would pick Myles up, his answer to the question “How was it today?” was “It was fun!” He says he definitely wants to go back next summer! He didn’t have any specific things he enjoyed more than others - he just said it was all a lot of fun.

  • The coaches made it FUN. Wilder is an excellent player. I was less concerned about player development and more concerned that he LOVE the game. You gave him joy this week. It also mattered to me that it was at a Christian school and you taught virtues throughout the week. Too many bad camp experiences with people trying to wrongly indoctrinate my children. Thank you for making it a spiritually, mentally, and emotionally safe place. He loved camp!
  • At the end of the second day, my kiddo said can I come back next year too?
  • Getting to work with staff who really took the time to get to know us and our strengths.
  • My daughter had an amazing time.. she loved her coaches and she made new friends while she was there.
  • The coaches were so kind and encouraging. My son was on cloud nine all week due to their encouragement
  • The tournament game at the end! Our son loved his camp week; he felt challenged (and exhausted at the end of the day :)).
  • Cross bar challenge, scrimmages, coaches
  • Having fun with his coaches and his fellow camp members all day.
