reviews-10 JAMIE J. - MOM

My 9yr old daughter Julie just finished a week of camp in Fairfield. She had a fantastic time - loved every minute of camp and wants to sign up for another week. The coaches were very enthusiastic. Thank you for such a fantastic program!

reviews-10 RON M. - DAD

These coaches were great. They made it fun for everyone and made sure all of the girls were constantly participating in every drill. Thank you for an excellent week

Rachel,
 
Thank you for the follow up. I want to say that my daughter really enjoyed her time at camp this week. As you probably know it was her first experience with lacrosse and she loved the program, the girls she met, and you as a coach. 
 
We will definitely look at other camps in the future as she will most likely pursue a league in the spring. 
 
Thanks again for providing a positive experience for my daughter and I’m sure all the girls this week. Well done!!!
