CAMP REVIEWS
“I learned so much from the coaches as well as other campers. I feel like I learned more this week than ever before. The coaches did a great job teaching.”
Janelle G.
“The day camp format worked perfectly for our busy summer. My daughter improved her shooting technique dramatically, and she developed wonderful friendships during lunch breaks.”
Jackson P.
“The transformation in my daughter after just one week of day camp was remarkable. Her cradling technique improved significantly, but more importantly, she made connections with girls who share her passion.”
