July 25, 2022: 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!
