Dominick T - Parent As soon as we got to camp my daughter could not wait to play. I am pretty sure she did not stop smiling all week. As a parent that is the exact atmosphere you want to see at a summer camp. Very well done camp. See you next year.
Stacy K. - Camper I had such a good time at camp. The coaches were great, and so was the food. We had so much fun staying in the dorms like we were in college.
Kim C. - Parent My daughter came home from camp and could not stop telling me about what a blast she had. Thank you GameBreaker, I will recommend this camp to all of the other moms on the team. See you next year!!
