*My 9 year old has been to dozens of camps over the years. This is hands down his FAVORITE, despite not having any of his friends at the camp with him! Very positive experience!

*My kids have gone for years and absolutely love sports camp. The addition of longer hours is perfect for working parents. Super positive experience for the summer!

*Valley Sports Camp was an incredible experience for my son. He couldn't wait to get to camp every day and repeatedly asked if he could live there. The games were focused on building teamwork skills and were developmentally appropriate, not to mention fun! Thank you Kim and Jeff, you guys are amazing!

*A unique, wholesome camp experience that genuinely promotes sports and team play in a non-competitive way! My son has been attending Valley Sports Camp both after school and in the summers for several years and enjoys it more each time. Jeff and Kim Mercer are excellent teachers and role-models for our children. They are both very patient and positive in all their interactions with parents and kids alike. I highly recommend Valley Sports Camp!

*Your camp has provided a safe and supportive environment for my emotionally young son to grow his sportsmanship skills and make new friends. All your coaches are great, but Steve was an especially good fit for the red team; thank you for an overall outstanding sports camp experience! We'll be back!

*This is the best summer sports program!!! My son has looked forward to Camp every summer for the last 4 years and spending time with his friends! The staff and coaches are energetic and great with the kids. Thanks to everybody involved to make this such a great experience. This week is definitely a highlight of the summer!

*Valley Sports Camp is a fun, active, and educational way for kids to spend their time during the first weeks of summer vacation. All three of our children have attended Valley Sports Camp and we are constantly impressed with the variety of activities, the emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play, and the amount of fun our kids have each day. It is the testament to the camp that wonderful high school students who grew up in the camp themselves come back to work with the children and serve as coaches. Mark, Jeff, and Kim Mercer are fantastic educators who have created something special for our local children.
-Jeff and Shannon Calden
*Garrett is looking forward to it, it is the one camp he wants to go back to every summer! He likes the fun competitions!

*My kids were ready to go early and were begging to get to camp. I had to ask them to take off their backpacks, as we still had a half hour before we could leave and get there are the earliest time possible. I have never seen them so eager to get to camp. Thank you so much for making fabulous memories for them of what camp can be!

*I really enjoy that this camp is so welcoming and involved with the Valley. My son showed up the first day knowing so many friends and feeling confident about attending his first summer camp. Thank you so much for this experience.

*Liam is always so stoked after a day at sports camp. He loves having fun with his group and the encouragement he gets from the coaches. It is always a highlight of the summer for him. Thanks to all the staff!
-Claire Hackett
*Our son really struggles with sportsmanship. He is so focused on the winning and losing aspects of games, he struggles to enjoy playing. The Valley Sports Camp staff really took him under their wing; they made him feel accepted and supported him through a week of tremendous growth and learning. Each day they focused on different aspects of teamwork and sportsmanship. The games were fun (his favorite was noodle hockey) and appropriate to his age level (K/1). They didn't push the kids in the hot sun, but had indoor activities or swimming in the afternoons. By midweek, my son couldn't wait to go each day. He even wanted to skip our family vacation to stay at sports camp! We will definitely be back every year. Thank you Coaches, Mark, Jeff, and especially Kim for a positive experience for our son!

*Annecy really enjoys the camp. It is the only sports camp she has asked to go to. So, thank you for what you are doing to make children who are not natural athletes comfortable and have fun with sports.
