Allison P. - Mom My daughters really enjoyed this camp, coming home every day telling us what they learned. I hope you will consider adding another week next summer.
Amy F. - Camper I felt challenged at camp and appreciated the feedback and constructive criticism from the coaches to help me get better. This will definitely help me in my lacrosse season.
Susie T. - Parent After the first day of camp my daughter was already asking if she could come back next year. I believe the coaches provided great instruction and were honest in their evaluations. My daughter is continuing to practice what they recommended. Thanks.
