IMPROVE YOUR GAME AND HAVE SERIOUS FUN AT XCELERATE NIKE LACROSSE CAMPS!
OUR 18TH YEAR IN WASHINGTON!
Spend a week at Pacific Lutheran University where lacrosse and summer fun come together. Our camp gives players the chance to sharpen their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the game they love in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Led by camper favorite and former University of Michigan player Dejon Hush, our staff of experienced coaches and college players lead dynamic drills, small-sided games, and team challenges that help campers develop technique, practice strategy, and play creatively on the field. Off the field, campers relax in dorms, hang out with teammates, and take part in fun activities that make each day unforgettable.
From running new plays to making new friends, every day is about playing lacrosse, improving as a player, and having a blast both on and off the field.

Pleased with the experience and learning!
Dylan loved the camp and was really impressed with how patient and encouraging the coaches were. He came home everyday describing a new drill or game he could play. We are very pleased with his experience and learning!

New found confidence and friends!
As a parent, the highlight was picking him up and seeing him so excited about new things he has learned, new friendships, and a new confidence that is emerging. For him- the chance to be immersed in all things lacrosse and get such great feedback and coaching.

Great experience!
I want to thank you and the coaches for doing such a great job. John has really enjoyed Xcelerate. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of coaches for John; they were positive and very motivating and helped John improve his lacrosse skills. He now loves going to practices and spending more time playing lacrosse. Thanks for everything.
