Melanie I. - Parent My daughter went to camp as a huge lacrosse enthusiast. By the time she came home from camp I saw someone who was even more in love with the sport. I did not think that was possible, the coaches did a great job enhancing her passion for the game.
Vicky P. - Camper I loved my time at camp with my friends this summer. All of the coaches gave us a lot of helpful information on how to get better.
Willy R. - Parent The GameBreaker camp we sent my daughter to was great. She had so much fun with all the friends she met.
