Sonia H. - Player I was afraid the whole camp was going to feel like just some easy vacation where we sat around and got lectured or watched training videos. Nope! It felt like a real adventure, even though we were learning the whole time.
Stacy L. - Camper The food was good. The coaches were awesome! We worked hard, but it was so much fun and I already want to go back.
Teresa S. - Parent The drive home from camp was silent. They slept the whole way. Thanks for a great week.
