Had the time of my life!
July 28, 2019: The coaches were positive and uplifting. They provided an atmosphere with knowledge and passion that grew the love of the game. In the words of my son, “I had the time of my life at this camp!”

Had a blast!
July 25, 2019: My son had a blast at camp. He went with 8 other boys from his school. Of course he loved the fact that he got to stay in dorms. However, he loved the daily sessions more. He said he learned a lot and had a great time!

BEST LACROSSE CAMP!
July 28, 2018: This was by far my son's best Lacrosse camp. All my son could talk about was how he was able to improve his skills.

GREAT TIME!
July 23, 2017: My son had a great time at camp. He can't stop talking about the staff and how much they helped him improve his skill. The Championship game was the highlight for him. Fun game, everyone got to participate.

LOTS OF ONE-ON-ONE TIME!
July 26, 2016: The group was relatively small compared to another camp I have attended. This made the coaches more available and more opportunities for one-on-one time and personal conversation with coaches. I loved the pre-camp clinic on shooting and dodging and was able to refine some of my skills even in that short amount of time. I look forward to next year!

FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE LACROSSE!
July 27, 2016: Though it might not be as "high-profile" as other camps, but it was instructive, personal, and informative. This camp is exactly what it's meant to be, an enjoyable learning experience for people who love lacrosse.

OUTSTANDING!
August 1, 2015: Knowing that your staff took good care of them (especially William who at 10 yrs was one of the youngest) made the camp a winner for my wife and I. Thanks for giving my boys the chance to attend an outstanding program.

AWESOME!!
July 27, 2014: My son truly enjoyed working with the coaches and being in an environment that was all about lacrosse. As a fairly new player this was just what he needed to get excited about the game. Our only complaint is that the campus is spread out and the walk from the dorms to the field can be a bit long. Overall this camp was awesome!!
