OTHER CAMP INFO: A MESSAGE FROM CARLI:

"I'm excited to be coming home to conduct another camp in New Jersey. It’s definitely one of the most exciting times of the year for me. I get to share my experiences with the campers and give them a glimpse of the training methods I use to improve my game.

I really enjoy helping the campers, not only with their skills, but also with the psychological aspects of the game. I love sharing my story and teaching these young athletes that in order to reach the top, you have to be willing to make sacrifices and stay dedicated. Knowing I’m able to provide this insight feels great—especially since I wish I knew these things when I was their age.

I will personally be there all day to make sure each camper has an experience like no other. Once again, my hope is that each athlete walks away knowing what it takes to reach the top."

Informal discussions on sports current events, character building, sportsmanship and choosing role models are held daily. Fundamentals teaches children the values of teamwork and commitment which are the essential elements of success in sports, as well as in life.
