Also the owners/directors reside in the dorms with campers!
OVERNIGHT CAMP:
Over three quarters of our enrollment is comprised of overnight campers. All meals, lodging, formal lacrosse instruction and leisure time activities are provided for our campers. Overnighters stay 2 per room in student dorms located within walking distance to the fields. Roommates are guaranteed so long as both campers request each other.
DAY CAMP:
Offered to players who live within commuting distance to Curry College or will be staying off-campus. We recommend multi-week sessions but will also accept commuters as one-week campers. Day students will report Sunday, 2:00pm for an initial evaluation. Group lessons will be taught Monday through Thursday from 9:00am – 5:00pm. Day campers will be provided with lunch at our school dining room.

OTHER MBSC/NIKE SPORTS CAMPS AT CURRY COLLEGE:
In addtion to Nike Boy's Lacrosse Camp, MBSC offers a Nike Girl's Lacrosse Camp, Nike Tennis Camp, Nike Golf Camp, Nike Basketball Camp, Nike Softball Camp and Nike Soccer Camp. Many campers who play more than one sport are able to play 1 week of lacrosse and another week of another sport (without ever having to move locations… they can even stay in the same dorm room!)
When mixing sports, campers must participate in at least 1 full week of each sport. Sports can not be mixed during the week. This is because each sports camp is an Intensified Training Program and should not be interrupted mid week.
