CAMP REVIEWS
“Staying overnight at this camp was so fun! The coach had some of her senior players coaching at camp so it was great to be able to have them coach us as well. They are role models to me now and I aspire to play collegiate field hockey like them.”
Jessie C.
“I loved staying overnight at this camp! I stayed in the dorm with two girls I have never met, and we all became really good friends by the end of camp. We have even planned on dorming together next year and doing the camp again. I loved the coaches, meals, and games that we played to strengthen our skills.”
