Parent feedback includes comments that staff were friendly, energetic, and engaging, and that one child especially liked the scrimmages at the beginning and end of each session. Parents have said they could tell the coaches are passionate and want to help the girls succeed, and that their children looked forward to going each day. One parent shared that Pete Lepak went above and beyond in connecting with their daughter and helping her feel comfortable at camp. Other parents noted that staff ensured everyone was safe and still able to participate and learn during the hottest week of the summer, that returning campers felt comfortable even when friends were not attending, that having high school players helping out gave middle school players a view of high school soccer, and that their children enjoyed every minute of camp and learned a lot of skills.
