Testimonials

“Camp was a winning combination of professionalism and organization combined with polite, intelligent counselors. They seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs and the kids. It was easy to drop them off in the morning and know they'd be safe and having fun at camp, even though they didn't know anyone at the beginning of the week. We’ll be back next year.” — Susan Schwabacher

“Headfirst Camps far exceeded our expectations. I was impressed by everything from the morning greetings when we arrived, to the fantastic facilities, to the warm and accessible counselors. I will definitely sign up my child for Headfirst Camps again in the future.” — Laura Manatos

“This was the most professionally run camp my children have ever attended.” — Maryelena Zaccardelli

“My sons have been attending Headfirst Summer Camps for three summers now, and they absolutely love them! The counselors and instruction are top-notch, and my boys always come home with smiles and great stories about their day. Thanks for providing such a fun, safe and positive summer experience for my kids year after year!” — Missy Cook

“Our son has loved every minute of his Headfirst Camp experience! In fact he can't wait to go to camp in every morning. Thank you Headfirst for providing him with such a quality camp experience.” — Rachael Fleurence

“We were very impressed with the quality of the camp - from drop off to pick up. It was a great surprise getting the first day's email update about the experience our son had at camp that day. Not only did we get to see the quality of the camp's background philosophy on leadership and responsibility, but it provided a springboard to further discussions and ways to build on those lessons at home.” — Laura and Michael Mulreany

“This was an excellent experience for our son. I cannot believe he had so many positive changes in just one week. His words were ‘The camp is amazing. I like the way they treat me at camp!’ “ - Margaret McCarthy

“Not only were his camp experiences far more fun than my son expected, and the activities and supervision far better than I expected, but somehow I came away with a child who is holding doors for me, making eye contact, and asking how he can help… THANK YOU!!!! We'll try to continue what you started.” — Wendy Hookman-Vassa

“I want to commend your staff, counselors and entire organization for their professionalism and unfailingly positive attitude. This is our second year doing your camp, and I really think that you are doing an outstanding job. Most importantly, counselors are very kind and considerate with both the children and their parents. It is rare to find this nowadays.” — Elie Bosco

“Once again, your camp has proven to be one of the best camps I’ve ever sent my son Tyler to.  He loves it and comes away with a lot of valuable lessons.  I was lucky enough to get there early for pick-up yesterday and saw Tyler named one of the “Campers of the Week.”  I don’t think the smile left his face all night.  Thank you! We will definitely see you again next year.” — Lari Lavigne

“This [video of the daily morning meeting] was outstanding.  Simply outstanding.  As a parent stuck at work, there is nothing better than to find out how/what your kid is doing.  Also, the passport idea and the life lessons are terrific.  Once again, Headfirst, I remember why we keep coming back.  Thanks.” — Ned Rubenstein

“We have enjoyed camps at Headfirst for the last couple years and have been referring many of our friends.  The variety of camps is terrific, the staff is excellent and most importantly Anthony is really enjoying all of the camps. Thanks again!” — Suzanne G. Parisi

“Maddie loved Headfirst camp.  She misses seeing Gomer and all the counselors so please give them a fist bump from her!  I was very impressed with how organized your program is, how clean the facility is and how friendly the staff is. I also liked the student to counselor ratio.  Every morning, we were greeted with many friendly faces and I knew that the children were safe and well cared for. You run an excellent program!” — Lauren Menkes

“Both of my sons, ages 6 and 4, had fabulous experiences this summer in the Headfirst soccer and baseball programs. They were so excited to go to camp every morning which was not the case in previous years at other camps. I was also very impressed at the sports skills that were taught and how my boys retained the information so they could tell us what they learned. Headfirst is such a well-run program with a delightful staff. We look forward to participating in other Headfirst programs in the future. Thanks!” — Bridget Calhoun

“Headfirst is definitely ‘heads’ and shoulders above most of the other sports camps in the areas. I've sent all four of my kids, and they have always enjoyed the extra camp activities, as well as the core sport the camp was focusing on. I really like the new Passport concept that teaches kids values about being good leaders and teammates. You really can't go wrong with Headfirst!” — Katherine McGreivy

“Headfirst Camps are the best camps in our area. The coaches motivate my children to listen and learn the concepts of being part of a team. They have so much fun. This is our second summer with Headfirst and we will definitely be back again next year.” — Sarah Hahn

“We have been very happy with the basketball camp the last two years. My son Gabriel, who just turned 8, asked to return again this summer. As we stepped onto the Headfirst grounds on Monday, Gabriel let out a big sigh and said "its good to be back". Worth gold to hear this! Thank you for adding more about leadership and positive behavior too.” — Sandra Kammann

“Our daughter attended soccer camp for one week and was concerned on the first day that she didn't know anyone in her camp. The counselors made her feel right at home and she got into the car at the end of the day saying how much fun she had and how much she loved Headfirst. Even in one week we saw an improvement in her play and she had a lot of fun learning.” — Lisa Sion

“My three children all enjoyed Headfirst Camps in their first summer with the program. They all had a different specialty program and each one enjoyed the day so much that they wanted to stay for after care! We are adding on another week of camp later in the summer, because they would rather go to Headfirst than the other camp that I picked out for them. Kudos to Headfirst Camps!” — Colleen Canovas
