2009 Camp Testimonials

To Birdman and camp,

I wanted to say thank you to all that were involved in putting this camp together. Birdman was a class act. As a mother of a 10yr. old boy it meant the world to him to have Birdman take such an interest in the kids. I was very impressed with the Birdman's heart and his ability to know something special about each child. I also appreciated the time and energy Birdman and all of the coaches put into the kids. My son will definitely do the camp again next year. He has told all of his friends about it.

Thank you again,
Sherri Pena




Thank you for putting together such a great camp. I really enjoyed that you guys taught the kids the game and not just them play around. I also really enjoyed watching Chris interact with the kids. Truly the best camp so far.

Jesse, Coaches & Bird,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful camp experience for Joey. He had the best time and has not stopped talking about it. This camp was the best by far and it was just absolutely perfect. People often think that with first time camps something is bound to go wrong, but with this camp, from registration, to check in and all throughout it was smooth and easy. I think all of us parents enjoyed this camp as much if not more than our children.

You all did such a great job at making these kids have an unforgettable camp. All the time with Bird, Steve working them out in the morning and the coaches working on all the fundamentals needed to succeed. Your coaching staff was remarkable, they went over so many different techniques and skills but most importantly took their time with each camper to ensure they were all getting that technique down with patience and ease. The photographer-Wow what a great job he did on all of the pictures and slide show. Please share our appreciation and thanks with all those who made this camp possible.

One more special thanks to Chris. Your presence at this camp interacting with the kids daily truly made a difference not only in our children's lives but also it went over really well with the parents too. You are an incredible basketball player but most importantly you are a remarkable person with such a big heart. We are glad you are here to stay.

We wish you all the best of luck this season and thank you for taking time away from your families and summer vacations to host a GREAT!!! camp.

Shannon and Joey Scott




Well, I've been rattling off at work about what a superb experience Mitch had at camp this week. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about all of you. The athletic director at the high school where I work would like to know if Mr. Andersen would ever consider establishing a relationship with the local high school where kids from his neighborhood attend. We would love to host any kind of event that Mr. Andersen would like... I get the feeling that he enjoys talking with students, and we really have an exceptional student body at Castle View High School in Castle Rock.

Take care, Laura Anderson




Hello Jesse,

We would like to extend a final thank you to you, your team and certainly Chris for the camp this week! We'd like to specifically extend our thanks for your willingness to not only accommodate our "out of the box" requests, but for the helpfulness and most importantly, the kindness of everyone toward us. We greatly appreciate it, it means a lot.

Congratulations on a truly successful camp! David & Myles plan to attend more fully next summer at the 2nd Annual Birdman Camp!

Thank you again,

Shelly & David Roney




I can't thank all of you enough for the experience my son had at camp this week. You built his self-confidence in ways you can't measure but I will see on a daily basis. He loved his coaches. He isn't one of the so-called best players. But he gained a lot of skills from you that he wouldn't get from our little local team. He's going to go back to his team and wow them. He had never played before this spring and his teammates have played together for a few years. They weren't the nicest to him but he played with heart and tried to improve. From the bottom of my heart I thank you all for the gifts you gave him this week.

God Bless You! Laura




THANK YOU so much for having the camp! My son (Josh) had a wonderful time! He is still talking about it to his friends. I think next year you will have to find a bigger place to have the camp because the number of kids will triple!!! Other basketball camps Josh has attended were fine – but he wasn’t very outgoing and stuck to my side any time that he could. The Birdman Camp he wanted to leave the house as early as possible and once we walked through the door he was gone playing. As a mother of a shy child I can’t tell you how happy that made me! Josh’s confidence level in himself has gone up amazingly in only a few days of camp. We both can’t wait for next year!
