Kim B. - Parent My daughter really enjoyed this camp. She learned a lot about the game and more importantly made many new friends. They are already planning on doing it again next year.
Allison J. - Parent My daughter thoroughly enjoyed this camp! She said that the best part was the scrimmages at the end of the day where she had the opportunity to show off all the skills that she learned earlier.
