Reviews & Testimonials

it was a fabulous experience and great week!
July 23, 2021: My daughter was very nervous because she didn’t know anyone. Once she got into her age group she made friends and she was excited each day. She loved the games played, skills and tricks taught and she loved the staff! Overall, it was a fabulous experience and great week!
-
I had a blast!
July 20, 2017: My daughter said, 'It was really hard and HOT and I had a blast!!! I definitely want to do that camp again next year!'
-
Goalie instruction was really helpful!
July 22, 2014: My daughter loved the session at McDaniel College. She came home with a few new moves and a lot more confidence in her abilities. The differentiated goalie instruction was really helpful and one of the main reasons we chose this camp. She plans to return next year!
-

-
already asked me to sign her up for next year
July 23, 2021: My daughter absolutely loved the camp and has already asked me to sign her up for next year when registration opens.
-
Learn new skills!
July 20, 2017: My daughter enjoyed the camp it was just unfortunate that it was during one of the hottest week of summer. She said she learned many new skills and all the coaches were very knowledgeable. My daughter was in the 11 year group and she really clicked with her her coach. I just hope next year she can bring some friends from her team to participate.
-
Great program!
July 30, 2015: I think the camp was a really good experience. The instruction was great, the friendships I made were stellar, and the camp was a life-changer for me. Thanks to this camp I am inspired to continue to play and improve my lacrosse skills. I recommend this camp to girls of all ages and skill levels. You will not be sorry.
-
Enjoyable and Beneficial Camp!
July 20, 2018: My daughter had a blast at camp. She went with some friends, so the time spent hanging with them in the dorms was a huge highlight for her. She also really enjoyed working with girls of all different ages on the field. She's a goalie, and really took a lot away from working with some older girls and having them shoot on her in the goal.
-
Wonderful experience!
July 23, 2017: Wonderful experience and interaction with the other girls was terrific. My daughter got to meet new friends from around the country who share her love of lacrosse.
-
A lot more confident now!
July 30, 2016: My daughter really enjoyed the camp (her second year), Nike does a good job of hiring not only qualified coaches, but coaches that campers can also relate to and who spend time with the girls. My daughter was struggling with a particular skill (she's a goalie, wasn't confident directing the defense) and one of the coaches here helped her work on that skill. She's a lot more confident now and was pleased to use her new skill at club team tryouts.
-
Great experience!
August 1, 2015: It's a great experience, we had so much fun and we learned so many new skills. The coaches are phenomenal! I met a lot of great people who I will stay in touch with. Camp kind of helped me step out of my comfort zone and talk to new people.
-
Learned A Lot!
July 24, 2019: I was able to learn a lot of skills in all positions on the field, if I made a mistake they corrected it with a positive attitude. I enjoyed the stations and drills and being able to try and learn new skills.
-
she came out of her shell this week!
July 23, 2021: My daughter has come home every day after camp soooo excited to tell me what she has learned and the new friends she has made. She told me what each coach did during camp and their name. This is a child that has social anxiety, she came out of her shell this week!
-
Love this camp!
July 20, 2017: My daughter loved this camp as she did last year. The counselors make the experience fun and she enjoys getting to know and playing with girls from other areas/ages.
-
Now I am more confident!
July 31, 2016: The Nike Lacrosse Camp really taught me a lot and I already see improvement. Now I am more confident in my lacrosse skills. I can now do almost everything with my left hand that I can do with my right hand. Overall this camp improved my skill level at lacrosse and my confidence for playing the sport. Also it was a lot of fun!
-
Thank you Nike!
July 21, 2014: According to my daughter, the coaches at this camp told her what her strengths were and gave her tips to improve on the things she's not so good at. My husband and I definitely see an improvement in her skills and confidence in her abilities. It looks like we will be back next year! Thank you Nike!
-

-
Highlight of my summer!
July 28, 2015: The camp truly helped me become a better lacrosse player. The coaches spent a lot of time getting us to understand the techniques and strategies of the game. Sharpening these skills against other quality players makes this camp one of the best.
-
Demonstrated the importance in building the girls confidence!
July 31, 2016: The coaches at this camp made my child feel welcome and right at home. My child was an extended day camper and by the end of day one they knew her by name and some details about her that went beyond the lacrrose field (that she had a baby brother, was a swimmer, etc). The camp not only was great at providing instruction and improving skill level, but really demonstrated the importance in building the girls confidence and getting to know them as a person ... all things that are very important in my opinion.
