  • We attend a lot of different types of camps over the years, both sports & academically focused. Graham said “This was the best camp I’ve ever been to!”
  • He was clearly engaged and learned new skills that he demonstrated at home.
  • Trisha had no exposure to soccer before this camp. After two weeks, she came back knowledgeable about the technique and more importantly excited and happy about playing it. We look forward to enrolling her to the next one
  • Sophie signed up at the last minute, to be with her friend. On Tuesday, her friend's knee injury caused her to have to withdraw from the camp. Sophie continued to want to go, even though she was the only girl in her group and didn't know anyone. That says a LOT. The staff were fantastic. They all really engaged her and created a positive atmosphere, where she had fun, learned new skills and drills, and really liked all the kids of all ages. Thank you!
