Renewed His Love For Lacrosse!
July 30, 2019: My son was a bit down on lacrosse after playing his freshman year in high school. He said that camp brought back his love for the sport. He was originally put on JV. He asked to play on varsity with his friends and that happened easily. Thank you for that.

Amazing Camp!
July 23, 2018: My son came home raving about the experience - he was challenged, he learned a lot, he got to play against bigger kids, they played through the rain (which he liked!)... and even the food was good! Quite a compliment as he's a snob about food.
— Anna L. Parent

Super nice and helpful!
July 27, 2017: All of the coaches were informative, nice, and super-helpful. My son gained a massive amount of confidence and courage on/off the field and learned so much more about the sport he loves to play.

These coaches did a great job!
July 27, 2017: Coach Childs and his other coaches were fantastic with all age groups but especially with the High Schoolers. Its hard to keep them going for 12 hrs. These guys seemed to keep them focused and rolling all day. My guys enjoyed every aspect of the camp and my guys have done the circuit of camps out there. Positive reinforcement from all the coaches really goes a long way with this age group. These coaches did a great job! The younger of the two will return next year. He was disappointed there wasn't another week.

Definitely go again!
July 27, 2017: I understand this was the first year for this camp was held at St Mary's college. The campus is very nice.....beautiful setting. I think it went very well. All the boys looked happy. I even over heard one ask his father if he could come back next year. My son ...who is 15 said he would definitely go again. Coach Jason Childs was a great host.

Enjoyed it all!
July 27, 2017: My son enjoyed every aspect of camp. He said he learned a lot of new skills and was given instruction on how to improve the skills he already had. He said his favorite part was playing games in the evening because he was able to use what he had learned during the skills sessions earlier in the day.
— Michelle B. Parent

Great learning experience!
July 27, 2017: Great learning experience. My son says that he was introduced to a number of skills and got to practice them a lot during camp.

Impressed!
