THEY SAID IT...
              2009 Parent Comments              
                   
                  

He has only said one word....AWESOME! He is sooo happy when he finishes a day, talks ALL the way home about his day-coaches-teammates etc. Very good Camp!
Ingrid C., parent of Allentown camper

He is having a great time at Eagles Camp! It's also helping him get ready for the upcoming season.                
Matthew H., parent of Moorestown camper

He attended this camp last year and immediately begged us to sign him up for this year again.  He is equally as jazzed about this year's camp. He LOVES it! He has played tackle football for a pop warner organization for the last 5 years and is very familiar with the game of football and the hard work it takes to play the sport. This camp is well put together with amazing coaches that are able to teach the kids the fundamentals of the sport while still making it fun for them. 
Leslie P., parent of West Chester camper

 

Camp is going great! Nicholas has really enjoyed the first 2 days and is looking forward to the rest of the week. He was extremely excited to get Pete Retzloff's autograph today! I was able to attend the afternoon sessions and was impressed with the drills and the work put in by the coaching staff.
Chris P., parent of Reading camper

He says he is having a great time. It is energetic and makes you want to come back for more. He was happy to meet the legends, who gave some pointers.
Marie C., parent of Newtown Tackle Prep camper

 

He is having a great time. He is learning a lot. He is tired at night so that means he is working hard and having fun.           
Stacey V., parent of Lansdale camper

My son  is having a blast! He states "they are working him hard" and he is improving on his skills. I like how the camp allows the child to play in various positions where they can learn new skills. We will be looking forward to your camp next year! 
Kathleen C., parent of Moorestown camper

 

He is really enjoying his camp experience. Everything seems to be run very smoothly. From drop off to pick up, it is very well organized. Great job!
Sheri C., parent of Downingtown camper

He is having a blast! When he got home yesterday he practiced everything until about 9 at night. Camp has definitely a great experience for him and me.
Heidi S., parent of Berwyn camper 

He loves the Eagles camp! He's learned how to properly tackle and is having a great time.  He loves the Eagles and is excited for the visit today by one of the Eagles heroes. 
Val S., parent of Lancaster camper

He is having a great time at the Eagles football camp this week. He's enjoying interacting with the other guys and working on plays with his team. 
Kathy and Tony V., parents of West Chester camper


He
 is having an incredible time. The facilities at the Katz center are fantastic and the staff works very well with the kids reinforcing not just the physical, but also the mental side of the game. After camp during our half hour ride home, he talks himself to sleep because he is so excited and exhausted all at the same time. Great job!
Lloyd H., parent of Cherry Hill camper

He is enjoying it very much. 
Andrew G., parent of Lansdale camper

He is very pleased that he now has a much better understanding of throwing and moreso, catching. After his first day of camp, he was exhausted, but insisted that we play an hour of catch so that he could show me what he had learned. The coaches provide close instruction and supervision, in addition to constant encouragement. He was already looking forward to his second season of midget football, but now he is even more eager for the season to start. Thanks!
Adam W., parent of Philadelphia camper

He is having a great time at camp! He can't wait to tell us everything he does each day. He is very excited about the Super Bowl on Friday.
Penny C., parent of Downingtown camper

He is having a great time at camp. He is very excited each day he comes home with lots of great stories to share. He is especially excited about the helmet!! I think it's great how you are keeping him motivated by the positive and constructive feedback he is getting. You are all very organized and professional and we are very pleased with this experience.
Jenifer H., parent of West Chester camper

 

He is having a great time and loves the camp. The coaches seem to be very nice young men and real involved with the boys. Very cool that Gary came to speak to the boys today! You are all doing a wonderful job. My son and his friend -- and more importantly, their moms! -- are very happy.
Wendy C., parent of Newtown camper


He is having a blast! He is forever telling me about all the things that he has learned during the day, how exciting. He is also looking forward to getting as many autographs from REAL Eagles as he can. From my standpoint, this whole project is very professionally run and well organized. Thank you very much for the opportunity to give this memory to my son.
Terence G., parent of Reading camper

He is loving his time at camp. He comes home each day telling me about new things he has learned.  After Monday, he said "I wish camp would never end!" 
Jennifer K., parent of Lancaster camper

It is fabulous!  I want to thank everyone from Jeff and the other staff members for a terrific couple of days. They have been so gracious. Thank you for all of your help and great instruction! 
Marsha C., parent of Moorestown camper


After the first day he told his mom "it was the best camp he has ever been to!" He also told us that the coaches told him, his best positions could be as a running back or a linebacker. So we are very happy with his excitement. Kids to coaches ratio seemed to be the right mix.

Brian K., parent of Lansdale camper

WOW! Keep it up! You guys are doing a great job. Even though he was tired I asked him how it went. Did you pass? Did you catch? What happen? All of a sudden he said dad check this out. this is a one point stance and this is a two point stance. Great job!
Jim L., parent of Berwyn campers

Besides being worn out he is having a great time.
Donald L., parent of Newtown Tackle Prep camper

We are so thrilled with the Football camp!! Our son LOVES camp and can't wait to go each morning. He is so happy when he comes home and can't wait to tell us all about it. We are very excited about this camp and so fortunate that he is able to be a part of it. We would definitely sign Harrison up for another week of the Eagles camp since he enjoys it and is getting a lot out of it. This program is so wonderful for the children of all the ages participating. Amy R., parent of Cherry Hill camper

I have nothing but great things to say about the camp. It has been a great experience for my son. As for myself, I have had a great feedback from the camp. I'm very happy with the outstanding service.

Diana C., parent of West Chester camper

My son is so over the moon about this camp! I picked him up the first day and he said two things immediately:

1) This camp just keeps getting better and better

2) I am tired.

That night he came home, took a shower and passed out on my lap before dinner- if you knew my son that would seem almost impossible as he is on #10 on the energy dial from the minute he wakes up until he goes to bed! He is loving it- telling me all about how if you take a knee you can't switch it because you'll have to run, etc. This discipline is exactly what he needs and I am so happy that we saved our money and got him there this year! 
Jill C., parent of Downingtown camper

The boys are having a great time. I am at home in New Jersey, but they call me everyday after camp and seem very excited!
Denise S., parent of Allentown campers

He is having the best time. I cannot thank you enough. He has gone to the YMCA at Berwyn for three years since it is convenient to both of our offices and because of the facilities and has not really enjoyed any of their sports camps. This camp he cannot stop talking about how much fun he has had and how much he loves playing football, the friends he has made and the football movies. I hope and pray you do this camp again next year at the YMCA Berwyn location. He has informed me he wants to do it every year until he is too old to do it. I cannot thank you enough for this program.
Kathy N., parent of Berwyn camper 

He is having the time of his life at the Eagles camp.  I am very pleased at the attention you and the staff pay the boys and their families. Well done.
Steve S., parent of Reading camper

He is really enjoying the camp. This is his second year there and he is really happy.
Suzanne O., parent of West Chester camper

The camp is going very well. The staff is very child friendly and my son is really enjoying himself. I would definitely recommend the camp to others next year.
Louis B., parent of Cherry Hill camper

He is enjoying himself very much, and feels like he is benefiting from all the instruction.  He also relayed the info from the videos on eating healthy.  He has been very positive with his experiences thus far.
Eric & Tina R., parents of Lancaster camper

Today was great. He really enjoyed playing today. I'm glad that they were able to build on the basics and learn more about wide receivers and defensive ends.  He's also enjoyed the shows about the greatest games and couldn't stop talking about Tom Landry on the way home today.  He's looking forward to the rest of the week.
Robin A., parent of Newtown camper

My son  is really enjoying it.  He is with a group of friends, so they are all having fun together! The boys all say the coaches are very nice and quite funny!  It makes such a difference when the kids can relate and joke around with the adults. I feel this has been a great experience thus far, and he is learning more about football as well as having fun!

Dominic F., parent of Reading camper

He loves the camp this week! He's learning a lot and refreshing some of the things he has forgotten over the year.  All the coaches are absolutely wonderful to him and all the kids. Check-in went very smoothly and pick-ups and drop-offs are equally smooth. We rate the communication and camp as A+!
Natalie B., parent of Berwyn camper

He is very happy. When I asked him to take out the trash, he mentioned something about football and leadership. I was happily astounded.
Annette T., parent of Philadelphia camper

My son really likes the camp. He says, "He has a lot of fun there, and he get a lot of exercise." He went to another football camp (for one week) last summer in Medford, NJ, and he said it was "no where near as good."
Holly B., parent of Moorestown camper


This is his second year at Eagles camp. Once again he loves the camp! So does mom because it is so well run and organized.

He is having an awesome time!  Loves the things he is learning and his instructors; and he thought Gary Cobb was really cool!

Ed M., parent of West Chester camper

My son is enjoying it very much. It seems very well organized and run.
Ira T., parent of Reading camper

He is really enjoying camp. I was concerned about him being one of the youngest but he seems to be keeping up (he even out ran the big boys today and scored a touchdown!). He just loves football and this camp is great.  He already asked me if I'll sign him up for next year.
Angela D., parent of Downingtown camper

He is having an absolute blast. This is our first Eagles camp, and we came all the way from Charlotte, NC.  It certainly has been worth the trip.  I took the whole week off work to come up here with him and have really been impressed with everything. The coaching staff is outstanding and works so well with the kids. He has made some good friends and has just been glowing all week long. Thanks for putting on such a great event.  It's an experience he will remember for a long time, and I foresee an annual trip up here for future camps.
Erik O., parent of Lancaster camper

He wakes up early to go to the Eagles camp. He can't wait to go.

My son Zachary Day absolutely loves camp! He's looking forward to the rest of the week. I also wanted to let you know that I feel the system is well organized. The first day was very easy to park, get him signed in, etc. Drop off today was also a breeze. Everyone is very helpful.

I actually have two boys in camp right now. They are both having tons of fun. Its a very well organized camp. The staff seems wonderful and the location is perfect!
Amy G., parent of Reading camper 

He loves camp! He woke me up at 6:21am to make sure we weren't late; it's only a 15 minute drive! He enjoys the daily challenges and drills. He likes learning the fundamentals of different positions and understands the game a whole lot more than before. The coaches have done a great job at creating a team atmosphere; they know all of the kids' names and the kids know eachother's names. They have a balanced sense of individual accomplishment with team success. I appreciate that they are stressing the fundamentals of conditioning, studying the game and practice, practice, practice. These key ideas can be adapted to any situation or goal and are great building bloack for future success in any endeavour.
Susan D., parent of Allentown camper

I just talked with my son and he had another great day at camp.  He sounds very excited about everything he is learning.

He's having a great time.  He's passed out in the back seat of the car.  The staff is very professional.
Joe S., parent of Downingtown camper

My son has some learning challenges so I'm always a little nervous when we're trying something new! I'm very happy to say we've had a really great experience so far this week. The camp coaches really interact well with the boys. He was out in the back yard tossing a football back and forth with my husband last night and it was CLEAR that they had worked on throwing! He'll be well prepared for the upcoming season and more importantly he's having a great time.           
Cindy C., parent of Moorestown camper

He loves the camp
Alicia O., parent of Newtown Tackle Prep camper


He would always tell friends and family that when he grows up he was going to play in the NBA.
Today while riding home from camp, Mack sat in the car very deep in thought. I asked him if here was a problem. He replied, "Yes." I asked if he wanted to share. Maybe I could help. He replied, "Well Mom it's like this.  I was going to play in the NBA, but now when I see how much fun football is... I want to play in the NFL. Do you think I can play in both?" He loves the coaches and has made new friends.  He really looks forward to camp each day!

Tui Y., parent of Moorestown camper

Allyson H., parent of Downingtown campers

He loves the experience and even speaks of doing it again next year.
