Parent Testimonials

 

"Mighty Mike and his team of passionate and enthusiastic coaches took a diverse group of children off the bench this summer and scored big!  He and his staff created an unbelieveable environment that motivated my son to play over and above his potential.  My son bounced out of the program begging for more!  I would highly recommend participating in the Mighty Mike Bounce-Out-The-Stigma program to any parent with a child needing a boost in self-esteem and a reminder that over-coming challenges should never be considered a long-shot.  Warmest regards and many thanks,"
- Ryan's Mom, Age 13

 

“What a great week…This was one of the best weeks of Will’s life.  He was surrounded by people who made him feel special and were quick to praise his determination and heart. Your staff was ready to give him and all the other children the guidance and attention they might need at any particular time, depending on how they were feeling. In addition, the schedule was organized to maximize the kids’ attention span.  You always kept things moving, allowing just enough time for them to get recharged and also to socialize and enjoy each other’s company.  I think Will felt very relaxed knowing he was with people who understood and accepted his seizure disorder.  It was very comforting for Will and us to know if he had a seizure he would be welcomed beck into action as soon as he felt up to it.  I know for a fact that Will walked away from a week at your camp with confidence in his ability to participate actively in a full week of camp, make friends easily and to learn, and above all, believe in himself…My family thanks you very much for this wonderful opportunity for our son and look forward to participating in any future camps and clinics that you will be running.”

- Will’s Dad, Age 13

 

 “My daughter Elizabeth had a terrific experience at the Bounce Out the Stigma Camp this Summer. Two years ago she could hardly catch a basketball. Now with the guidance and positive you can do it spirit that Mighty Mike and Alison Garbutt have in their camp, Elizabeth felt the confidence she needed and the sense of belonging to a team that helped her learn how to dribble a ball. By camps end she could dribble TWO BALLS!! The staff at the camp was able to pull together Medically and Physically challenged kids who didn’t all know each other turn them into a team. They played learned and worked together and felt like they fit in somewhere. All children need that kind of experience.  Thank you for all you have done." 
- Elizabeth's Mom, Age 9
