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.

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.

Improved her lacrosse skills!

Made new friends!

My daughter had fun, made new friends, and learned new skills. Her favorite thing about camp was having a coach that was as excited about coaching defense as she is about playing defense! She's frustrated that it's always the same passing, shooting and ground ball drills at every camp, but not at this one! They provided a diverse range of activities and drills, in a different way, keeping it interesting and challenging for all of the players.
