IMPROVE YOUR GAME AND HAVE SERIOUS FUN AT XCELERATE NIKE LACROSSE CAMPS!
OUR 1ST YEAR AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY!
Spend a week at Wake Forest 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 NCAA coach Tyler Yelken, 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.
