Who are the camp trainers?
What do they do? |
 |
There is an Athletic Trainer and/or
Medical Emergency Staff Member on the field at all times and
available off the field on a need be basis. The trainer will
provide any necessary and appropriate treatment as he or she
sees fit. In the case of a true emergency, it is an
Xcelerate Lacrosse Camp policy to call 911. |
|
|
|
Is water provided on the field during each session? |
|
Water is available on the field
at all times. Campers are encouraged to bring their own water
bottles to the field and keep bottled water and sports drinks
in their rooms. |
|
|
|
Where do campers reside?
|
|
All campers, staff, and directors
will reside in the dormitories at the camp. Most of
the dorms are air-conditioned, however please be sure to check
your particular camp site to make sure this is the case.
If air-conditioning is not available, fans are allowed. |
|
|
|
How may campers per room? |
|
Most of our camps have dorm rooms
for two campers. However, there are a few triples available
at select camps. |
|
|
|
What are the ages of the campers and how are they divided? |
|
Most of our camps are for campers
ages 8-17. Our overnight camps allow ages 10 and up to stay
as overnight campers. If below the age of 10, a camper
must attend as an extended day camper. At each camp,
campers are divided by age and playing ability and placed
into either the youth, JV, or Varsity group. We make
sure campers feel comfortable in their respective groups enabling
them to be motivated and excited to learn and improve. |

|
|
Is there 24 hour supervision? |

Our Xcelerate Lacrosse Camp Staff
is on duty 24 hours a day, on the fields, in the dormitories,
in the cafeteria, at the pool….wherever our campers
are present. In addition, most campuses have a 24-hour
campus safety patrol and campus police security. |

Camp better for a specific position? |

No, not at all. Each summer
we have positional directors and coaches for each position
on the field. All of these directors and coaches have

Attackman! |

What are the camp rules? |
|
1) Campers will be charged for
any damage to rooms or facilities. There will be pre
and post camp inspections of all facilities used by campers.
Please bring any damage noticed on check-in to the attention
of the staff.
2) Any camper discovered away from the dorm/athletic/recreation
areas being used by the camp will be sent home immediately.
3) No cleats or ball playing in the dorms
4) Any alcohol or illegal substance will be brought to
the attention of the appropriate authorities |
| |
We are all looking
forward to a great week of camp. Any serious breach of camp
rules will result in an immediate expulsion from camp. We
would hope that common sense, civility and respect will rule
the day. |

Can parents visit their
children and watch field sessions during camps? |
|
Parents are invited to visit their
campers at any time during a camp session.
Parents are required to check in and out with the Camp
Director. Friends of campers are not permitted on campus
at any time unless accompanied by a camper’s parents.
Campers are permitted to dine off campus with parents upon
their request. The last morning of camp we play games,
which is a great opportunity for parents to watch their
child display the new skills and techniques learned throughout
the week. Games usually start at 9:00am on the last
day. |
