S. Wilchusky, parent of Berwyn camper

The boys are having a great time. The report from my son: the part I really like is when they throw it to me. The part that I really, really like is when they throw the football deep to me. I wish they did that the whole time. The report from my other son: I wish we could scrimmage ALL day!
K. Hinkle, parent of Reading campers

Since we can't seem to get him to stop talking about it once we pick him up, I would say it is going really well!  He has been thrilled so far to meet both the staff and Heroes.  I really appreciated the ease for dropping off the first day and the general attitude of the whole coaching staff.  We have 5 members of our football team attending this week and we will be recommending it to our whole organization at the next meeting.

C. Lind, parent of, Sea Isle camper

Our experience has been a good one. Our son is 12 and is going to try out for the Jr. High Football team at his school this fall. He has primarily been a Baseball, Golf, and Tennis Player.  The purpose of him attending your camp was so that he could be exposed to football before trying out for the team. He has come home each day with good feedback. All in all a good experience, he is learning a lot of the basic information of the sport (which he needed). Thank you for your professionalism.
S. Ruth, parent of West Chester camper

He said he is having a really good time.  He said that he likes this camp better than any of the other football camps he has done in the past. Thanks!

I would like to say I was impressed with coaches ability to work with a diverse young age of athletes. My son enjoyed his time with the coaches, his fellow peers and also excited to see the retired Eagles players. As a parent I would like to say thank you for having a camp with skillful and knowledgeable coaches. My son is looking foward to attending this camp next summer and will tell his friends as well. Thanks.
P. Gangadyal, parent of Cherry Hill - 1 camper

He says he is having lots of fun with Eagles camp - and that they are "working very hard". Seems to be going well!
J. Pond, parent of Sea Isle camper

It is going great - he absolutely loved Eagles camp last summer, so it is no surprise that he is loving it again!  I must say- on our first day at check in the coach who checked us in totally remembered and recognized him by name! I also wanted to say that last year's football camp experience was his first formal introduction to football and we decided to send him because he had signed up to play 70 lb tackle with Marsh Creek. He had an outstanding season in football! Thank you for all you do!

EXCELLENT!  So far he has loved every minute.  He is so excited every morning and night he can hardly sleep.  I am hoping he doesn't get wiped out halfway through.  He is learning and developing new friendships and loves when he makes a touchdown.  I wish I would have known about in past years, definitely a camp I would have signed him up for. Hoping the camp is offered again next year.  Thanks.
L. Cardo, parent of Downingtown camper

Thank you for your email. He is loving camp so far. On Monday he came home and said how hot it was but still it was fun. Today he came home and said it was so much fun I didn't even notice it was hot. For my son this is a big deal he does not like to be hot. He does not give me very many details but that is not unusual.

B. Zorab, parent of West Chester camper

I am writing on behalf of my son who is presently attending the Cherry Hill (Katz Jewish Community Center) football camp.  I don't think he wants it to end. He is enjoying the camp very much and especially the games.  He says the coaches are very complimentary and are helping him become a better football player.  I think he would continue doing this for the entire Summer if he could.

E. McKie, parent of West Chester camper

My son is having a ball and is enjoying the camp a lot so far. Today he got to meet Ben Hawkins and got his autograph on his shirt as well as after the session on his Eagle hat. He was real excited about that. It has been a real good experience so far and from what I hear looks to be the same as the week goes on there is talk that some current Eagles might come on Friday as well since they are in town for camp. That would be great.
K. Nevitt, parent of Bethlehem camper

So far so good. He seems to be really enjoying himself. He's made friends and played hard!
T. Del Guercio, parent of Cherry Hill - 2 camper

He is really enjoying the camp.  While he was initially disappointed that at 10 he cannot yet participate in the tackle program, he tells us that the workouts are great.  He was so tired when he came home last night that he didn't play in his evening soccer game! Sam loves his coach, who plays arena football "and is the best coach I ever had."  He's had alot of coaches for alot of sports - football, basketball, baseball and soccer - , so this is the highest honor he can bestow on anyone. Thanks for giving the boys such a great experience.  He'll be back again next year.
S. VanderGast, parent of Bethlehem camper

The experience has been great so far. My son really enjoys it. He comes home exhausted but feels he is learning new skills and having fun. The staff seems great. Very pleasant and helpful with everything.
E. Bean, parent of Cherry Hill - 2 camper

He is having a great time.  He thinks the world of Coach Bostik. He was thrilled to meet the Philadelphia Eagles player, Ben Hawkins today. He looks forward to camp each morning.   I think this program is great, and the emphasis on team spirit and camaraderie is a positive ethic to teach.
T. Nanni, parent of Reading camper

Camp has been a great experience for him. He is learning some great new techniques. I also wanted to let you know how professional and motivating the entire staff has been. We would definitely recommend the camp to others. Thank you for everything.
