Great quality camp.
"This was out first time ever doing anything like this. My 14 year old and her friend had a wonderful time, learned tons and are planning for next year already. The coaches were excellent, the schedule was well thought and the food was great. Thanks so much for a great first time lacrosse came experience for my daughter and her friend. WILL definitely do again next year."
Great time!
"My daughter had a great time at this camp! She raved about the food and the instruction & made a bunch of new lacrosse friends! Thank you."
Best camp!
“Tom Harbert and his staff were great and seemed to inspire the girls to get better during every session. This is our second time doing the camp and I would do it again. Thanks for another great experience and great memories.”
Great ratio of campers to coaches.
“Coach Harbert was great and had such a positive interaction with the girls. My daughter had a great time and learned so much. I especially appreciated that the number of campers was kept to a manageable size, so it allowed for a great ratio of coaches to campers. It was a great experience for her and she will definitely attend camp again.”
Thank you!
"I wanted to thank you for a wonderful camp experience! Your camp really helped me to improve my leadership skills, endurance and my accuracy on all my fundamentals. In fact it helped me so much that my coach made me captain of my team! Also because of my new and improved fundamental skills I have made accurate passes, ground balls and shots. I have scored 24 goals this season! My dad said, “I went into camp a sissy and came out a lacrosse animal". I don't know how true that is, but I wanted to send you this email to thank you for a wonderful camp experience last year and let you know how excited I am for this summer’s camp!"
