THEY SAID IT...
2008 Parents Comments
My son is having a great time. He told me Monday evening, "Thank you so much, mom, for signing me up for this. It is so much fun." He is really enjoying himself, and I thank you all for making this possible. It's a wonderful thing for you all to provide this for kids and even better to have the Giants involved. You all are creating life long memories for these kids and helping them expand their knowledge of the game. My son has been playing football since he was four but it helps to learn from "real" players other than just the parents and volunteers. My son said that he has learned a lot already, things he didn't know, and that he has made so many new friends. To me, all of it is important. Can't wait till next year.
Nichelle N., parent of Brooklyn camper
He is having a great time. He says that it's challenging and fun. The coaches are great and personable. Thank you so much for everything.
Angela A., parent of New Rochelle camper
He is having the time of his life! Each day he comes home with a "play by play" of his day. He is interested in the game and motivated by his coaches. The best part is coming home to call his grandfather - a season ticket holder for 49 years - to tell him who he met and what he did. So, thanks! We are already talking about next year!
Kelly H., parent of Wyckoff camper
Fantastic! She is having a great time (and she's the only girl)! She LOVES football.
Lisa E., parent of Wayne camper
My son is having a great time. The facility is top rate. He is learning the basic fundamentals and sportsmanship needed to succeed and enjoy the game. All the coaches and staff are very professional. They have the kids' best interest at heart. The Giants players that visit the camp have been fine examples of the great Giant tradition; they spend a lot of time with the kids and are very approachable. Keep up the good work!
Al L., parent of Staten Island camper
I have been very, very impressed with the camp, especially the organization and communication. Two days into it and I am boasting to other mothers about how good it is. My son has gotten a lot out of it so far -- thank you!
Colleen C., parent of Greenwich camper
He's told me all about the exercise routines and that it was cool meeting the players today. They signed the back of his camp shirt. And the staff seems friendly and competent. I imagine this will be an experience he'll look back on with good memories.
Mike L., parent of Easton camper
He is having a great time. He is learning a lot and the coaches and staff are well organized and a pleasure to talk with. Thank you for making this experience possible for him.
Alex N., parent of West Hartford camper
He is getting so much exercise and is learning so many different things about football. He talks about all of his offensive and defensive moves he is learning and the coordination with regards to left and right tosses. He is also telling me about all the stances he is being taught such as the linebacker stances and DB stances. He absolutely loves it. Thank you so much for allowing him the experience.
Patrice G., parent of Brooklyn camper
He is really enjoying football camp and that's even with him getting home totally exhausted. He likes how the day is broken up. You could see and hear the joy in his telling of actually having a ball thrown to him and being the target not the defender. I watched for about an hour or so the first day and could see the differences especially breaking the group up by age not just positions. If the rest of the week goes like the first couple of days (which I believe it will) I'm sure he'll be back again next year.
Kevin M., parent of Paramus camper
He is having a wonderful time and was very pumped when he came home! He couldn't wait to go back! You have a very organized process and procedure and check in was smooth.
Roseann C., parent of New Rochelle camper
He had a really great time in the camp. He would do again in a heartbeat.
Gina C., parent of New Rochelle camper
Let me start by saying that, we are NOT a "morning" family. Usually I have to ask my boys 10x to get out of bed before they even roll over. So far, they have been up and dressed before I even walk into their room! I am thrilled with the excitement that your camp has generated for my boys! Each day I hear (with great enthusiasm) exactly what they learned, how they did and who they met. My younger son can be very shy in situations where he doesn't know anyone, but your coaches have really engaged him in all the activities. He can't wait to go back at the end of each day. I will certainly tell all of our friends about your camp for next year.
Holly H., parent of two Wallingford campers
I am writing to inform you of the great time my son is having at the Giants Football camp in Wyckoff. Over the summer, we frequently attend at least 3 camps and this one by far is the best camp he has attended! Every morning he wakes up without complaint and hurries himself in order to be on time. The coaches and staff are both professional and friendly with the kids! My son has loved this camp; we will definitely be back next year.
Themba J., parent of Wyckoff camper
He loves the camp! He says he is learning a lot. I also am very impressed by the organization and security of the checking in and out. Everyone that woks the camp that I have met so far have been wonderful and very polite! Save him a spot for next year please!
Terri B., parent of Greenwich camper
My boys are having a wonderful time, usually by day 4 of a full day sports camp they start complaining about something, but they haven't. They haven't even complained about the 45min commute it takes us to get there, and wake up early, without complaining, ready to go. Thanks to all the coaches and assistants for running an instructional fun program.
Carol V., parent of two New Rochelle campers
Camp is going well. My son enjoys it. I particularly like how the kids are broken up by age group with the coaches taking on a reasonable number of kids.
Lee B., parent of Easton camper
He is having the time of his life at this camp. He already loves football and he is really enjoying himself with the program. Thanks to the staff and your program this will be a week to remember.
Ronnie S., parent of Rockville Centre camper
My son absolutely enjoyed the football camp. I certainly look forward to next year's camp. Keep up the good job.
Marlene O., parent of Paramus camper
My son just finished his week at the Springfield location and I wanted to let you know how phenomenal the week was for him. He had an amazing time each and every day and couldn't wait to get back there each morning. He not only had fun at camp but really improved his skills too. The staff was amazing! Donnie, Coach George, Stu and Pete were great with all of the kids. Everything ran smoothly and was very organized from the first minute that we arrived on Monday morning up to and including Friday afternoon when they gave out the awards. As you know, we had a heatwave this week and your staff was right on target making sure that all of the kids stayed hydrated. It's nice to know that the staff really cares about the kids. We are looking forward to next year!
Darcie V., parent of Springfield camper
He has had a great week. Hope you are back next summer. The location worked out well; easy pick up and dismissal. Camp seemed very professionally run and organized; comfortable leaving him every day. Think you got off to a great start in Greenwich. Thanks so much.

Toni Ann H., parent of Staten Island camper
He is having a great time at Giants camp. Each day he's told us all about what he's done and learned. And I am so impressed with the coaches and staff. Drop-off and pick-up are so organized; I really feel like Noah is in a safe and fun environment. Additionally, I was so pleased with my phone conversation with Ned a few days before camp started. He listened to my concerns and promptly sent off an email to the director and coaches at the Greenwich camp. Many thanks for that! And, for making my son feel so confident in himself.
Maria T., parent of Greenwich camper
Camp has been an excellent experience for him. It is very well run, organized and fun. We are thrilled with the choice.

He can't wait to get to camp each day. The camp is very well organized and the coaches and Giants players seem to know how to get through to the kids. He had a great experience last year and he picked up this year where he left off.
Rob J., parent of Summit camper
To sum it up: My son loves it, and looks forward to the next day.
Peter F., parent of Brooklyn camper
I can't tell you how happy I am. I was a bit nervous because the boys were hesitant about leaving their other camp for a week to try football camp (to the point that I didn't think they were going to go). From the minute they got there until the end of today they LOVE IT!!!
Hilary P., parent of two New Rochelle campers
He is having an amazing time at camp. He is not always a big talker, but I have been getting his play by play of the day every afternoon on the way home. I feel comfortable leaving him and there seems to be plenty of staff members around to help out and keep things organized.

The camp is wonderful and we are so pleased that we chose this camp for our son. He is having a great time.

However, he is so excited to go every day and the skills he is learning is truly giving him the confidence to play this fall.
