“Coach Baker,
When we left the gym on Friday, Charlie turned to me and said; “Can I do another session this summer?” So, needless to say, he did have a good experience. I understand your philosophy. He does not have any big brothers, but it was like he did at this camp. Thanks for being approachable and committed to the happiness of your campers. Have a great rest of the summer and we may try to squeeze in another session.”

“Coach Baker,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that my son, Kyle Simmons, really loved your camp and really felt like he learned a lot. He is very active in basketball via his travel team and Wooten, etc… and your camp was definitely at the top for him. He met a lot of great people and really hopes to return next year.”

“Coach Baker,
Thanks for calling today to follow up on Conor's absence. It meant a lot to me, and says a lot about the FIVE-STAR program. You've really got a great camp. Conor is in his 5th summer, and he is loving it more than ever! My nephew Liam, from North Carolina, also had an awesome experience with you earlier this summer. Thanks for all you are doing for Conor and for all of your campers.”

“Steve,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how thoroughly impressive your camp is, and how incredible of a time Cameron had last week. The organization of the camp and the maturity of the staff is outstanding. I do not think we could send Cameron to any other camp after experiencing FIVE-STAR BALTIMORE, they would fail in comparison. We really didn’t know what to expect or how much Cameron would enjoy it, but I can tell you that next year he will be spending more than a week! Again, great camp, great staff!!! Best of luck with the rest of the summer, and it was great to see you and your family."

“Dear Coach Baker,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for a great 3 weeks last summer at FIVE-STAR BALTIMORE. My son Rashard really enjoyed himself and learned a great deal. He is really excelling this year in middle school basketball at Cardinal Gibbons. We look forward to seeing you again this coming summer.”

“Dear Coach Baker,
Having coached Rec and AAU basketball for 24 years, I have to tell you that FIVE-STAR is the one camp that my kids never tire of. I'm coaching my 13 year-old grandson now, and no sooner does one session end, that he's begging me to sign him up for the next session. I can honestly say that FIVE-STAR BALTIMORE has always been the highlight of my kids’ summer vacations.”
