July 21, 2023: The camp director was engaging, welcoming and enthusiastic. My son benefitted by getting experience living on a college campus, and having the opportunity to get to know and work with other lacrosse players, college players (camp coaches) and the head coach of the college men's lacrosse program (camp director).
