Hello All,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but the "camps" forum looks like adds only.

My son wants to go to the Driven intense camp in Kimball at the end of July. I went to the online registration and not sure it went through. No biggie but I can NOT get a hold of anyone! Been sending e-mails and leaving messages for 3 weeks. Going to be very disappointing if he misses out on the camp.

Does anyone know someone that can help? The contact info does no good. Nina doesn't check voice mail (says its full and cant leave anything) or reply to e-mails. Does anyone have any experience with the camp in the past? I am starting to wonder what kind of a camp it is if I cant get in contact with anyone.

Please help if possible.

Try calling her with this number... 320-761-5365. Explain the problems with the website too. I called and told her that the link to go to PayPal didn't work but thought she would have had that fixed by now.

My son went last year and plans to go to the first session this year as well. It was a good camp and I would think it will be again.

This is the exact problem I had, the Pay-Pal never came up so I could pay it.

I have been calling that number (voice mail full) and the one on the confirmation (some business) but no replies.

Hopefully hear something soon.

I ended up going direct to my PayPal account and sending the money that way. I used the email "ninam@cescamps.com" to send the money. I got confirmation that it did go through. The problem as I understood it is that the registration would go through but something is wrong with the link to go to PayPal. Anyway, what Tiny says is true and I think if you try to get in touch with Nina this next week, she will likely be able to address this. They seem to be running every weekend!

Has anyone been able to get in touch with Nina? I am having similar problem. I've left numerous messages on her cell phone(when her voice mail isn't full) - I've sent emails - I've even texted her. I obtained the Preserve phone number but no one answers that phone. I've left messages at the number listed in the email I received upon registration. Nina simple has not responded to any of my contacts. My son is supposed to be attending the Big Mans Camp and it starts tomorrow. I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do. Does anyone know if the Big Man Camp is on or not? Any other suggestions about how to get a response from Nina??

In case anyone else is having trouble contacting Driven, I finally got through to Nina. They had a lightning strike earlier this week which caused problems with bunkhouse a/c that can't be repaired til Monday. She told me they pulled the plug on tomorrow's Big Man's Camp earlier this week but couldn't access their list to contact everyone - assume that means the father/son camp scheduled toe begin tomorrow has also been cancelled.

Truly sorry for their loss and what they're dealing with right now. But still very frustrated that weeks of emails and phone calls went unanswered, not to mention the full mail box that prevented leaving messages - can't they answer cell phone voice mails from anywhere and this was all long before the lightning strike. I noticed Nina's message was changed last week to indicate they had been away at national wrestling tournaments...in the mountains. Sounds like fun but just made me feel more unimportant to them to be ignored for so long while they were gone...

I am hoping someone will read this post who has a wrestler attending their camp in the next few weeks. I had actually signed my son up for two camps with them this summer and am now questioning whether I want him to attend at all. Curious how the camps will be run this year and what feedback there might be - if you send a wrestler please post some feedback.

My son also loved the camp last year - beautiful facility, great workouts, and seemed like good people - not sure why they couldn't respond to any of us over the last several weeks prior to the lightening strike this week, they certainly have their hands full right now but how do you explain the weeks leading up to this...just don't feel the confidence right now and could use some current attendees good feedback:)

My son went to camp earlier in July and will be returning next week. Coaches were awesome. He worked hard, learned alot and had a great experience. He is looking forward to returning to Driven Intensive camp next week. I talked to one of the coaches for quite awhile after the closing session. Really impressed me. My son talked highly of them all. I know Nina frequents the Guillotine - hopefully she'll post info about the clinicians.
