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
• Middle School Division: Entering grades 6–8
• Youth Division: Entering grades 4–5

Note: During camp, coaches may help players who are on the edge between divisions find the best group for them.

XCELERATE CAMP GEAR

Get ready for camp with some awesome Xcelerate gear! Once you register, you'll receive an email with a link to our online camp store, where you can shop for Xcelerate apparel and merchandise before camp begins.

All purchases will be shipped directly to your home, so you can show off your Xcelerate gear before you even step on the field!

GROUP RATE

Groups of 4 or more campers interested in a group rate must complete the Group Rate Inquiry Form before registering for camp. Xcelerate will follow up directly to discuss your group and arrange the appropriate rate.

TYPICAL FULL-DAY CAMP SCHEDULE

On full days of camp, campers participate in three on-field sessions designed to balance skill development, instruction, and competition. Mornings focus on fundamentals and individual improvement, afternoons feature demonstrations and additional skill development, and evenings bring everything together through games and team competition.

The fun doesn't stop when campers leave the field! Throughout the week, we mix in exciting contests, recreational activities, and opportunities to relax, have fun, and connect with fellow campers. From our popular Fastest Shot and Freestyle Skills Competitions to a variety of off-field activities, there's plenty to enjoy beyond lacrosse.
