I learned so much at the golf camp: it made me have a more positive attitude to want to play. — Louis L., Pennsylvania

I attended your senior program at Haverford College for the weeks of July 9th to July 29th. I attended golf camp for two weeks and tennis camp for one week. I really enjoyed my time at your camp and felt that I was learning a lot. This really must have been true since when I got home, I tried out for my high school golf team and I made the team. Only 6 kids make the junior varsity team from my school and I was chosen as one of them. I want to thank you because I would not have made the team if it was not for your great golf camp. The golf teaching professionals are really helpful. My swing improved and so did my putting. I will definitely be going back to golf camp at Haverford College in 2007 to improve my golf and tennis skills. I hope you have a great winter season, and I am looking forward to next year. Sincerely, Jason S., New York

Parent Testimonials

Tennis Camp

My daughter had a great time. Her only regret was that she was there only two weeks. I was very happy I sent her to your camp. — The Hechtlinger Family, New Jersey

I love this camp mostly because of the flexibility and specialized care. Julian took my son to breakfast when he was homesick. — The Alvarez Family, Madrid, Spain

The program did an excellent job of preparing my child for her high school tennis season. It instilled discipline, commitment and technique. All this coupled with a well-balanced social environment. — The Feldman Family, New Jersey

From the start and registering, to the finish and picking up my son, it was smooth, efficient and pleasant. Everyone associated with your camp was friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to accommodate. My son feels ready to compete for a spot on his school tennis team now. — The Winner Family, New Jersey

Our son returned to Israel yesterday and as soon as we saw him (he has been away for over four weeks) we could immediately learn from his facial expression that he looked much more mature and relaxed and for that we are tremendously grateful. Julian, you and your name are very famous throughout the US, but it crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed in Israel through a friend our yours. Since summer of 2004 you became a very significant element of our lives and probably the best one. As you can imagine, for our son to make inroads in tennis is the challenge but, as Jewish parents, for us it is more a matter of education. The fact that he wants to come back to the Krinsky camp year after year is a very significant accomplishment because of the atmosphere, the style, the inter-relationship rules — all of which are critical for a successful upbringing, in general, and in his age, in particular. He, like all his age group, is a very spoiled kid but being ambitious and achieving is overriding and the Krinsky Camp offers the right equation to deal with the ratio between the two. Julian, we feel very strongly that we are blessed to get to know you. — The Hofstein Family, Israel

Golf Camp

Best day camp my son ever attended. — The Lastowski Family, Pennsylvania

Great balance of serious skill development along with the right amount of fun. — The Matsko Family, Pennsylvania

Krinsky Fitness

Our daughter returned home with a sense of maturity, sophistication, poise, higher self-esteem and sense of responsible commitment for her being in control of her wellness. Learning healthy habits early in life maximizes quality of life. She received reinforcement of our family goals. Focus on total wellness essential to living a balanced healthy happy life — The Toledano Family, New York

My daughter had a tremendous time trying out new forms of fitness. She returned more confident, happy and with a new appreciation of fitness. — The Wilson Family, New York

There was not one instance that outshined another according to Allie; she felt it was all one grand experience made up from smaller miracles! The minute we were in the car to come home she said, “Sign me up for next year.” My only dislike is that we found out about your camp later rather than sooner! — The Proko Family, Pennsylvania

Junior Enrichment

Our daughter can not stop raving about all her counselors and coaches. She can’t wait for next summer so she can go back. — The Arnone Family, New York

The camp far exceeded my child’s expectations. — The Gilbert Family, New York

This is by far the best summer experience that our daughter has had. — The Bassett Family, Pennsylvania

Our son got off the plane and said, “I really want to go back to camp again next year!” — The Raskin Family, Florida

Summer Internships

Julian and Adrian are a class act: It is a privilege to know them both. — The Frost Family, New Jersey

It’s a unique experience that you can’t get anywhere else — The Wang Family, New Jersey

What a great concept for students who want to put down their school books for the summer and learn in a different arena. — The Gold Family, Tennessee

My son came home yesterday with such a BIG smile on his face. I had to write to both of you and your excellent team and tell you what wonderful programs you have. After three summers with Krinsky, and he couldn’t be more satisfied. He truly enjoyed his experience with Deutsche Bank. I wanted to thank you so much for making that happen for him. His experience there will stay with him forever. He learned how rewarding it is to be in a positive, productive work environment. It was very stimulating and exciting for him. His only regret was that he was not there long enough. He would have liked to have worked another few weeks. (This is my fault for only signing him up for 3 weeks! Oh well, live and learn.) He looks forward to applying to your Wharton Business program for next summer. That program is right up his alley. He enjoyed Penn very much. The campus was very comfortable and he had a blast navigating the city. It was a real treat for him to finish off his last two weeks with golf. He is now shooting in the 80s and he couldn’t be happier. What an incredible golf camp the last three years. You both really know how to make dreams come true! All of the best always, The Frost Family, New Jersey

Day Camps

Your staff is amazingly friendly, energetic and enthusiastic year after year. — The dePapp Family, Pennsylvania

I only have the best things to say. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Julian gets the cream of the crop to work for him. My three boys have gone to the camps. They all loved it. My little one now at Super Sports loved it. — The Clickman Family, Pennsylvania

My kids love Super Sports. They get to do the activities they want to do, and when they want, to with great instruction. — The Roshkoff Family, Pennsylvania
