Jessi truly enjoyed every day of camp and spoke very highly of his coach. It is obvious that the skills were professionally and properly taught as Joseph’s soccer abilities improved greatly. He asked on Friday: does this have to be the last day of camp?

Having just sent my 4 children, Maggie, Anna, Suzie and Cheyenne, to Nathans’s Camp, I was thoroughly impressed with the individual skill they were able to acquire in such a short period time. The repertoire of offensive and defensive tools they developed was quite amazing. I will sending them to the Shine Academy!

I love how you offer a camp for Girls only! My two girls used to get crushed at other camps by the opposite sex. I’m glad I have the option to send them to a gender specific camp! Thank you!
