Here's what people are saying....

"I just wanted to let you know that Joe said today was a blast... much more fun than ______ lax camp last month:) Thanks so much-keep up the good work" - Amy F.

"Thank you again for a great week at Lacrosse Camp" - Denise E.

 

"Dave,
Thanks so much for running a lacrosse camp that was (in Ross's words) "totally awesome." Ross had a great time, and the camp was the highlight of his summer. As a parent, I could see how much he was enjoying every day. Every morning, he was up and ready to go, and every night he came home sweaty, exhausted and happy. The coaches were all great--they kept everyone working well. I understand they were all volunteers, mostly Rochester Greywolves. I certainly appreciate their love of the sport and desire to pass it on. We would be happy to attend any future camps or events, and plan on coming back next summer."
Sincerely,
-Sybil and Bruce H.

"My son learned more from your week camp than he did at any camp or season.  He still talks about it." Jack F.
