OUR 1ST YEAR AT JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY!
Spend three exciting half-days at John Carroll University, where lacrosse and summer fun come together—then head home each day energized and motivated. Our 3-day camp gives players the opportunity to sharpen their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the game they love in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Led by John Carroll Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach Joe Rautenstrauch, our experienced coaches and college players run dynamic drills, small-sided games, and team challenges focused on skill development, game strategy, and creative play. Each session is designed around high-quality instruction, purposeful repetitions, and competitive play that help campers improve quickly.
Campers take a short break halfway through the session to recharge before getting back on the field, ready to compete and learn more. Every minute on campus is centered on lacrosse and player development.
From learning new skills to competing alongside new teammates, each day is about getting better, playing hard, and having fun on the field.
