We encourage our campers to play hard, be creative, and have fun! At the end of the week, our campers leave with a higher lacrosse IQ, an enhanced skill set, new role models, new friends, and a true love of the game!

    Great job!

    July 25, 2019: My son attended this camp with 5 other players from his team. All had a blast and made new friends! It was what a camp should be, work hard, play hard and repeat! They all took new lacrosse knowledge away with them that will be beneficial to them in future play! Another great job by the Albion Lacrosse program!

    Looking forward to returning!
