PLAYER DIVISIONS
Our overnight camps feature three divisions based on grade level to ensure age-appropriate instruction and competition. Within each division, campers are grouped by experience and skill level, allowing our coaches to tailor instruction and create a positive learning environment where every player can improve, build confidence, and enjoy the game.
Campers will select their division during the registration process. Divisions are based on the grade campers will be entering in Fall 2027 (2027–2028 academic year).
- High School Division: Entering grades 9–11

Couldn't have been better!
This was my son’s first overnight camp experience and it couldn’t have been better. He had a wonderful time and met a lot of new kids. He mentioned that he liked how the coaches taught them both lacrosse and life skills too.

Enjoyed Camp!
My son said the high point for him was the evening discussions between the players and the coaches. He said he enjoyed it because the coaches took time to get to know the players and their needs and the players got to know one another. He said he also got some good field tips as well. He said he enjoyed it overall...thank you for making that happen!

Truly helped!
The camp truly helped me become a better lacrosse player. The coaches spent a lot of time getting us to understand the techniques and strategies of the game. Sharpening these skills against other quality players makes this camp one of the best.

Great experience!
I'd like to thank you, for giving my son such a great experience. He came away with improved skill and more confidence in his game. The group of boys from Florida that we traveled with could not stop talking about their week with you, how much they learned and how fun the camp was. I think I can safely say you did a great job with our boys from Jupiter, Florida.
