Great experience!
Our two daughters had an awesome time at lacrosse camp. It was a great first time overnight experience for them. They were in a safe and friendly environment. The girls learned a lot and can't wait to return next year. Parent of campers(ages 11 and 12).
Great quality camp.
The Nike Girl’s Lacrosse Camp at the University of Mary Washington was the THE BEST EXPERIENCE my daughter had this summer. The director, Dana Hall, and her staff are the most terrific motivators! We would do it again in a heartbeat and plan to recommend this camp to everyone we know.
