This camp really helped her prepare for the future!
July 19, 2018: My daughter has attended softball camps for the past 5 years for skills improvement. This was her first year at Salisbury Nike camp. The first thing Emily said to me that stood out to her was the professionalism, organization, and athletic coaches and leadership is what stood out the most to her. From a parents perspective Emily came home from this camp more focused on what she needed to do as an athlete to step up her game to be more prepared and focused toward college softball.

Taught My Daughter More Softball & Being A Young Lady
"I cannot put into words the experience my daughter gained from going to the camp. She not only learned skills in softball but how to be a better young lady. The morals and values the staff brought to the camp were extraordinary. We looked at sending her to another camp and decided on the NIKE Camp for convenience and I am so glad we did. She was going to be a day camper but when we got there she saw some friends and we were able to change her to be an overnight camper. I will highly recommend this camp to anyone who is interested in gaining skills and personal growth. We look forward to next year!!"
