Great experience!
Nike Lacrosse Camps do a great job of bringing people from all across the United States and even the world to enjoy something they love: lacrosse. Even further, Amy and the coaching staff enhances your knowledge of lacrosse, showing and telling you things that you had not known before.
Tons of fun!
Stanford camp was tons of fun and I learned a great deal from the amazing coaches. They aren't just Stanford coaches but members of team USA and other teams. I never thought I'd play pick up with Katrina Dowd, Danielle Spencer and Lauren Schimdt until then.
I hope to go back.
It was nice being placed with my own level of skill in the morning but being able to play with better people in the evening and being able to learn from that. The small skill groups and stations kept it interesting and gave you good one on one time with the coaches. Focus is not just on dominant hand but the coaches also take time to make sure that the non dominant hand gets just as much work.

Awesome!!!
Nike Lacrosse Camp was an exciting experience. I improved my skills, played a lot of lacrosse, met new people and I found the staff to be helpful and enthusiastic.
Brianna G.
Amazing camp!
This was an amazing camp I learned a lot and made some amazing friends. The staff was great both on the field and off. And I would gladly go back another year!

Supportive learning environment.
This camp is so helpful. I gained not only skill, but also confidence and the willingness to take risks. The coaches encourage you to try something new and if it doesn't work, that's ok just try again. There was a very supportive environment in which I felt I didn't have to worry if I missed a pass or dropped the ball trying a new dodge. This camp also focused on both dominant and nondominant hands equally and by the end of camp, I could switch easily in games without being nervous.

Can't wait to go back!
