CAMP REVIEWS
“I loved staying overnight at this camp! I stayed in the dorm with a girl I had never met, and we became really good friends by the end of camp. We have planned on rooming together next year at this camp! The coaches were awesome, so were the meals.”
Jaime K.
“My daughter did not stop talking about how great this camp was. She made so many new friends throughout the week, and received so any prizes they barely fit in the car! She loved the meals she ate there and did not complain around one. I cannot believe how excited she was to go back next summer and be able to spend more time with her new friends!”
Christian M.
“This camp was the perfect balance between intense training and enjoyable activities. The coaching staff pushed us to our limits during drills and scrimmages, helping us refine our skills and improve our game.”
