My son enjoyed the Nike camp better than any other lacrosse camp he's done in the last 2 years and can't wait to go again! The coaches were talented, instructional AND fun.

Really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed my experience at camp. I made friends and was able to demonstrate my skills at a competitive level. I learned better throwing and shooting techniques that will help me as an attacker. I can't thank the counselors enough at Berry College for their time and support.

Great location.
Good organization. Berry College was a great location. Coach was fun, and I liked the extra coaching he gave, especially the face -off help.
