    Had a blast!

    August 10, 2019: My daughter had a blast and came home with stick handling skills that were far superior then what she had learned prior to camp. She met girls from all over the Midwest and forged friendships that are hopefully long lasting.

    Wants to return next year!

    August 9, 2018: Even being a relatively new player compared to the other girls, my daughter was accepted by the other girls and staff and was not made to feel bad because of her inexperience. She learned a lot and absolutely wants to return next year.

    We will be sending her next summer!

    July 23, 2015: My daughter is very new to the sports and this was just what she needed to get excited about it. All of the coaches and campers were so welcoming and nice to her. when she didn't understand a certain move or drill the coaches were always easy to talk to and good at finding another way to explain it. This camp had great coaches and nice people. We will be sending her next summer!
