"I came to HLC as I was transitioning from guard to post player with the hope that it would help me gain confidence as a player and help me improve my game so I could play at the varsity level. Not only did I gain confidence in myself, I was the first player of the bench on the varsity team my senior year. I do not believe I would have been able to succeed at the level I was playing this year without HLC. In addition, I gained friendships with people from across the state. This year my team was the Division 2 state champions. The state tournament run was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Winning the state title was unbelievable. I take even more pride in the fact that I was a valuable member of the team who saw many minutes on the court throughout the season. HLC provided me with the confidence and skills to play at not only the varsity level but the state level. I want to thank Cheryl and HLC for the program that helped me develop both as a person and a basketball player."

"HLC on the court allowed me to develop a comfort on the court as well as help improve my overall skill. As far as off the court is concerned, HLC and the people involved helped me learn how to deal with adversity and difficulties. This is one lesson I will never forget and will affect the rest of my life."

"HLC has helped me become a stronger player both mentally and fundamentally. I have learned to develop the little details of my game and work on improving other major aspects. HLC has given me the opportunity to meet many new people and play against players from all over. HLC has helped me off the court in that it has taught me that dedication and hard work pays off."

"HLC helped to develop me into a better player, and it gave me a better understanding of the game. On the court my game improved from constantly playing against a higher level of competition. My fundamental skills were also broken down and taken to the next level, as the idea that you must "catch and shoot" was drilled into my head! While off the court I learned that it takes dedication and hard work to reach your goals. One of the best things that HLC did for me was increase my confidence in myself, and teach me what I need to do to be successful. " Becky Melis

"I met a lot of new people and that helped me to be more comfortable when I was meeting new people or having to talk in front of people. It helped me on the court because I played with a variety of players and I took all I learned during the summer and brought it back to my high school season. " Liz Miller

"HLC as a total confidence builder. It not only helped me develop new skills but really made me trust myself and my talents. HLC helped me take a lot back to my team, and allowed me to play with many amazing athletes. These athletes became my friends as the season progressed and we bonded. HLC gave me so many opportunities, great memories and helped me to the next level of basketball." "Thanks HLC, it was a blast!" Laura Turley

"HLC helped me to decide if I could play college basketball, and what I needed to do to up my game. HLC allowed me to experience great competition and many new challenges of basketball. Off the court, HLC has always been there for me, and taught me that a basketball player needs both work ethic on the court, and off, to be successful " Ashley Windt

"Playing with Higher Level Camps has been an awesome experience. I have learned to be self-disciplined, work hard, and most of all to be a leader. I carried these skills off the court and into the classroom where they have helped me be successful. Over the past 5 years, I had the opportunity to meet many new people and play with girls with tremendous talent. The talent that surrounded me molded me into the player that I have become. Without them pushing me, I would have never made it to the next level. I come out of Higher Level Camps believing that if the mind can conceive it and the hart can believe it, the body can achieve it!" Nicole Brenner

"Playing in the HLC program was more rewarding that I could have ever imagined. The game experience was unmeasurable, and was beyond compare to any individual workouts I had done prior. Being a part of the program was a fantastic experience in which I took away much more than basketball skills but as well as work ethic, dedication, and valuable friendships. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about raising their caliber of play not as an individual but as a team member." Mark Evans

"The experiences I shared with HLC this year are almost indescribable. As a team not only did we mesh on the court but off the court as well. . We all developed life long friendships like no other team I've ever played on. I'm sure I will remember some of the teams we played, some of the experiences on the court, but more than anything, I will remember the team members. We bonded like no other team I know... athletes and parents, kids and coaches. Every single one of those people became a small part of me. They were my summer." Mackenzie Hiese

"This summer was one of those things you will never forget. The friendships that were made and also the memories that occurred during that time will not be easily replaced or forgotten. We started off the summer not playing very well, which Cheryl of course let us know. Throughout the summer however, we learned to play together on the court and most of our chemistry on the court was due to the friendships that were forming off the court. Throughout my years playing basketball, there were always a few people on the teams that did not get along, yet on this team there was no evidence of that. We continued to become better friends as the summer wore on and that fact was also shown by our team play on the court. Some of the more memorable tournaments were Notre Dame and the Junior Olympics. The Junior Olympic memories are something that I will carry with me throughout my playing years. We were able to compete with some of the best players in in the country and show that we belonged in that group of teams. The time off the court was as memorable as the time on the court. The summer came to a close but the friendships that I made and also the experiences that I had will not be forgotten. " Katie LaViolette

"It's been one of the best opportunities I have experienced for summer basketball. I've played with a variety of different summer teams but I haven't had as much fun with those teams as I did with this one. We got along great and our team chemistry couldn't have been better." Emily VandeSlunt

"Playing for HLC opened up more doors than I could possibly imagine. As a player, I became more fundamentally sound and took my game to the next level. I never thought I would have the opportunity to play college basketball, but HLC developed my basketball skills and my confidence as a player and as a person. I would not be where I am today without Higher Level Camps."

"Overall, HLC was a positive learning experience. Not only did I find new qualities about myself as a basketball player, but I also learned a lot about myself as an individual. Traveling was a lot of fun with my friends -- experiences that I will never forget throughout my life. In the long run, those experiences in competition and with my friends will prove to be beneficial."

"Playing basketball for HLC was an unforgettable experience. It took my basketball skills to the next level, gave me a very successful high school basketball career, and offered the option of playing college basketball if I wanted.
