Overall Experience:
"Everyone was SUPER…Staff was exceptionally friendly"
"Thank you so much for this week! My son had a BLAST and is so sad it’s over! He’s already talking about next summer wanting to do the same camp!!"
"Thank you very much for creating this opportunity for the kids to connect with the Timbers and Thorns teams. Your coaches and team members are very inspiring to the kiddos. Our daughter was so happy for the experience."
"The experience exceeded my expectations. My daughter had the most incredible time on the field with the coaches as well as the Thorns players themselves. Everyone was caring, genuine and seemed happy to be there. Morgan Weaver and Sam Coffey were so sweet to my daughter and are just the most wonderful example of amazing athletes that are also incredible human beings."
"Wonderful, welcoming, my daughter thought that it was magical to practice at the professional field."
"This was the highlight of our summer, my daughter was super excited to play on the same pitch as the Thorns."
Camp Operations:
"They seemed to really focus on technical skills and gave kids a lot of individual coaching and playtime. My kids both really loved that."
"My son learned a lot, especially as a newer player, and he gained a lot of confidence. I really appreciate that the coaches instilled other important attributes, such as teamwork, respect and effort, into their coaching."
"Drills were taught very effectively, my son came home each night continuing to practice."
"We thought the camp was excellent. Well-coordinated and ran by great people, excellent coaches. Thank you, our grandson had a wonderful experience and learned great things!"
"The curriculum seems very appropriate, and I think the drills and training activities were well-run - and accommodated the different age groups present."
Comparison to Other Camps:
"Appreciate the # of coaches at camp - ability to divide campers into more age/skill appropriate groups. Some of the coaches were easygoing and could connect with the older campers better - much appreciated!"
"Very communicative and generally very friendly"
"I really enjoyed the personalized interactions I saw between coaches and their campers. I felt this was made possible by the number of coaches present and the individual attention they could give to their groups. Seeing the staff join in the games and participating with their groups instead of standing on the sidelines was also great."
"This was the first camp for our 12-year-old daughter who has only played recreation ball for 2 seasons. On the drive home she requested 2 camps next season."
"Very well organized, clearly communicated and fun!"
