I must tell you that he was a little nervous before he went and did the "I do not want to go in the morning tantrum." He came home from his first day and spent an hour telling me about the coach, the work out made him feel healthy again, he will need to eat a lot of vegetables, he likes his new jersey, then he says......mom I don't know...I still might be able to be in the Olympics someday! The coach must be doing all the right things to take that first day jitters away. He was really happy when he came home.
Deb S., parent of Supreme Skills camper

Anthony D., parent of Rolling Meadows camper
Its going good. He likes it very much.
Vickie L., parent of Floorhawks camper
We are very pleased with the puck and stick skills camp. The lead instructor is great with the kids and the kid to instructor ratio has been very good.
Mike M., parent of Supreme Skills camper
He is having a great time at the Blackhawks camp. We are so happy we chose to join in. He loves the shooting and stick handling time he is getting. He made the comment the first day that "it felt great to be back on the ice". Baseball can't compare to Hockey - even in the summer. Count us in for next year.
Amy N., parent of Bensenville camper
He just finished his second day and he is having a blast! It's everything he thought it would be and more.
Stan Z., parent of Vernon Hills camper
He is loving Blackhawks camp! My husband and I are very impressed as well with the organization of the camp. We feel we are informed of what he does during the day and I so much appreciated the letter we received the week before camp. It was nice to know what he needed to bring to camp (lunch, water bottles, change of clothes etc...) instead of guessing what he might need during the day as we have done this with another hockey camp he attended this summer.
Mary Jo H., parent of Winnetka camper

He is enjoying his camp. You can't go wrong with coach Rafe! He's simply the best!
Tom and Lora D., parents of Supreme Skills camper
My son is very happy and he loves it. I think he is learning things everyday that will be helpful in his future hockey playing.
Elwira F., parent of Bensenville camper

Claudia S., parent of Vernon Hills camper
He really enjoyed the camp. I think there was such a good variety of activities and there was always action that he had a great time. His favorite thing was the shoot offs and scrimmages.
Sheryl C., parent of Floorhawks camper
My kids are having a wonderful time at Hoffman Estates Arena. Thank you very much for your concern. The camp has been all we were hoping for.
Karin R., parent of Hoffman Estates campers

Seamus G., parent of Rolling Meadows camper
He has really enjoyed these past two days at camp. He tells us about the skills he is working on and the ýfunnyý hockey videos he watches at lunch. He is enjoying the outside play as wellýas do most 6 year old boys! He was excited to tell me about the Blackhawk Hero that visited today. How nice for these men to sign the kids equipment and gear!

It's going great for him. This is his 4th year in your camps.

So far all is well. He is enjoying the coaches and learning some stickhandling. He comes off the ice nice and sweaty so I know he is working hard. Thank you for offering camps so close.
Steph B., parent of Supreme Skills camper
We do these camps because the past several years the focus has been for "fun". We don't need the yelling and screaming at 9-10-11-12 years old. I appreciate the camp experience in that it balances the fundamentals as well as having fun.

Thanks for checking in. He is absolutely loving camp. He is having such a great time, and from what I can tell, is learning a lot about hockey and improving his skills. He loved meeting Regg today as well, and getting his autograph. All of the coaches and staff have really been great as well.

Today the kids were so excited because of all the signatures that they got on their jerseys and sticks. They have told me about how many new friends they made and how nice the other kids are. The boys have learned many new skills and give me a play-by-play of their day. Thank you for making it so exciting for them.

Moyra G., parent of Bensenville camper
He is enjoying the camp. The skating drills he's doing there are different from the ones he normally does with his team, so he gets much more out of that hour because of it. Keep up the good work.
Ron P., parent of Supreme Skills camper
Both my boys are enjoying camp. My 8 year old told me he's learning new techniques he hadn't been taught before. I appreciate the coach's attention to the players' individual needs and the time they take out with whomever needs a little help.
