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!
