Testimonials from Camp

"'We've been to this particular camp for many, many years. And this was definitely within my top camp experiences! The staff was particularly outstanding! California High School'"
"'This location is a great place for Camp. The campus is gorgeous, the facilities were perfect for our needs and the University did everything they could to help make this Camp enjoyable.'"
"'I really loved the program adjustments that were made this year. The performance routine was a great team experience and it actually made routines A & B much less stressful. I think that also has contributed to how confident the girls are feeling this year. Thank you so much!!'"
"'Staff was amazing! They were always motivating and encouraging all the dancers. They gave us some great exercises and ideas to take home and use with our team to help us improve and make us stronger. Our Head Instructor did such a good job with the coaches meetings and keeping the whole weekend running on time. She listened to the coaches about what we thought our teams needed most and would adjust the technique/elective classes to fit that.'"
