For the most part, adults experience the same things as the kids at our camp: Excellent training & coaching, plus daily video analysis.

Adults can sign up for any of the sessions 1 thru 10 that we offer to kids, but if training with the kids is not your cup of tea, we also offer an exclusive ADULTS ONLY session during the the last week of summer. We'll even let you open up a beer during your afternoon video analysis session!!
