"My son loved attending the Nike Lacrosse Camp put on at Adrian College, here in Michigan. He is a beginner player, and he loved the individual instruction, and loved staying in the dorms for 3 nights. My son also stated the coaches and assistants were very "cool" as he put it.. He definitely plans on attending again next summer!"
Amazing camp!
