The Glover Family describes the equipment, coaches, and program as “top drawer” and notes that coaches Dave and Ajay showed a level of proficiency and professionalism above their expectations. The Kenyon family shares that they were glad to host a coach and would gladly host another Challenger coach in the future. O. Moore reports being very impressed with the coaches, notes that the kids adore them, and has already requested camp for the next year. The Ormiston Family calls it a “wonderful camp” and says coaches Neil and Chris made a strong impression on the kids and that Challenger can be proud of what it is offering and the people representing it.
