BSC offering 2 weeks of summer camp to make up for spring cancellation. What about others?

They always offered 1 free whole day week precovid (1.0 weeks)
They no longer have whole day camp. Now camp is half day.

Now they are offering 2 weeks of half day camp which kinda equals 1 whole weeks camp. (2 weeks x 0.5 day= 1 week)

So they are giving basically the same offer precovid in a new shiny package. Its all marketing.

Sorry to be a negative.

Well our club is also supposed to include a "free" week of camp. They have said nothing about it but we've been told all their camps are shut down. No talk of any refund.
It is obnoxious.
At least BSC is trying. All we get are emails about how much they are in financial trouble and can we donate our fees to their for-profit company. I am empathetic but plenty of parents are also struggling financially.

I don’t understand how you think scamming people into thinking they’re getting something that they’re not is “trying”.

You might want to look at the posts on Achilles before looking there-not so great comments as of late. Potomac is no match. Not familiar with PPA.

Ppa skill level is below travel but above rec

That’s a ridiculous statement.
PPAs top teams are equal with the top teams of most smaller travel programs.
And BSC has good top teams, but their 5th and 6th teams are at about Rec level.

I was using the classic definition of a travel team.. and im still correct.

Youre trying to prove your point by saying "smaller" travel club or "5th or 6th" team. These are outliers and not what people think when they think travel. "Ridiculous" is a stretch. Good argument though.

Smaller compared to Bethesda or Arlington....as are most travel teams.
You obviously know nothing about PPA or the level of their teams, but hey, keep making stuff up if you want.
The top PPA teams are real travel, whatever your definition is.

My kids have played with all. Skill level is subjective It's my opinion. sorry if you feel its ridiculous.

Agreed. At least they are trying to hold camp for those who need it.

Would you share what club, besides BSC, is offering a free week of camp but asking to donate fees? I haven't heard anything from ours and want to be sure we didn't miss something.

Look at NLS Olympians, their coach is my nephews coach, and He practies 3 times a week, and never stops.

I track him on facebook, I like what they are doing, they practice out of stone ridge in bethesda.

Not sure but they definitely had a free summer week code for eveyone months before covid. Kids were already registered for camp with it.
