Great job!
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!

My son Tim had the best time. He improved his skills, gained more confidence, came home with new friends, and made life long memories. He will be back next year! We have told other Lacrosse parents they have to send their kids.
