Ryan H. - Parent The campus was remarkable and I would send my son here again in a heartbeat. Will definitely be attending again next year.
John B. - Camper We played so much that all I want to do now is play! I signed up for overnight with a couple of friends from home, but I made new friends too! The coaches were so nice and helpful.
Zhenya S. It was great to bond with other girls who love the same thing I do. We had so much fun at camp. The coaches were really good and taught us a lot of new things. Save me a spot next year.
