Written comments about the Team Retreat Camp and VBcamps:

Thank you and your girls for the amazing experience she had at camp and the boost of confidence you gave her!  She will be at your camp every year... ~ Holly Mecham, parent

It was great to see so much talent and girls from all over.  We also had a great time in Jackson, going to a Chuckwagon one night and seeing the local sites the rest of the time. ~ Kim Bird, parent

I just wanted to let you know how much my girls enjoyed your camp. We have never been to a team "Retreat" camp, but have been to many volleyball camps. This was their very favorite. Your staff really exemplified what you were trying to get across to the young ladies, as far as encouragement, team building, communication etc. My team definitely benefited. Thanks for such a good experience. ~ Laura Duncan, St. John Lutheran (FL)

Just wanted to let you know the girls did great. We ended 22-16 and we made it to the State Semifinals where we lost in a 5 game thriller.  Just wanted to thank you (Mika) and Mike for the summer. Ya'll helped us reach our goal this year!! See you this summer. ~ Erin Fabre, Catholic HS (LA)

This camp is a truly one of a kind.  It’s a camp that goes where no other camp does by really focusing in on the girls and addressing the team aspects. ~ Susan Zellner, Clinton HS (TN)

A really inspirational camp experience for our team. ~ Clay Taylor, Harrison HS (GA)

I think the camp has it down great.  They know how to build the teams physically and mentally. ~ Lauren Bougeau, St. Thomas Aquinas (LA)

(The) Team Retreat Camp was amazing for our team.  We became closer as a family and set goals for this season.  We improved our skills some and have the encouragement to reach our goals. ~ Corie Fisher, Bartow HS (FL)

Camp was great!  The players loved it.  We’ll be back. ~ Ethel Jones, East Hill Christian (FL)

I liked that it was unlike any volleyball camp I’d ever been to.  We didn’t just work on skills, we also got a chance to share hopes and goals with our teammates that they might not have known otherwise. ~ Abbey Peppers, Harrison HS (GA)

I love the team building aspect of the camp.  We always come together at this camp.  My team loves the 2 tournaments because the competition is so great. ~ Erin Fabre, Catholic HS (LA)

"I like the way things are always a little different every year, but the emphasis of 'team' is always first."

"I believe this camp was the best thing in the world for this team. I noticed a different team then the one that arrived here on Friday. Thank you!"

"I would just like to say thank you for all that you did to me while I was attending your camp at ISU. I can honestly say that I have NEVER been to a better camp in all the years that I have been playing (Since 4th grade).
...I would also like to thank Becky personally. You were so inspiring to me. You never gave up on me, and that sets you apart from the other coaches that I've had in the past."

"This was a great experience for our team, and I think it will help our team take their game to the next level."  

"I feel, and my team agrees with me, that your camp has helped us so much.  You have helped us to reach our goal, and we are very greatful. Thank you so much!!"

"I think that Mike and all coaches have and share great philosophies."  

"The ropes course was awesome!!  This is exactly what we need.  Our court coach was superior - she taught ALL of us a great deal.  We want (our court coach) again next year!"  

"They (court coaches) did an awesome job! If you can, please tell Jennie, which was our teams coach, that we appreciate everything she did for us and we miss her! I am going to be a senior next year, so I won't be back next summer, so I just wanted to tell her thank you again. She was so awesome! We'll the experiences I had at camp were ones that I will never forget. Thanks for the great memories."

"Thank you for all the help and encouragement in July."
