PLAYER DIVISIONS

Our day 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).

    Had the time of my life!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

    We were extremely happy with your camp. Our son Jordan was very happy with the coaching and finished the camp with a new enthusiasm for the sport. We will be back next year!

    OUTSTANDING!

    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!!

    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!!
