Parent Considerations

  • Perfect 5.0 rating based on only 1 review – limited feedback data
  • No counselor ratios provided for any programs
  • Identical special requirements listed for all programs (appears to be data error)
  • Lacrosse equipment requirements listed for non-lacrosse programs
  • Missing key operational details like age ranges and session lengths
  • Wide program variety may indicate less specialization in individual areas
