Training Camp
For many years now Christine has been offering a training camp for athletes hoping to get an extra jumpstart for their summer seasons. The athlete must achieve a standard and make as many practices as possible. Spaces are limited and the price tag is usually around $2,000. More details on this will come in the fall.
