PLAYER DIVISIONS
Our overnight camps feature three divisions based on grade level to ensure age-appropriate instruction and competition. Within each division, campers are grouped by experience and skill level, allowing our coaches to tailor instruction and create a positive learning environment where every player can improve, build confidence, and enjoy the game.
Campers will select their division during the registration process. Divisions are based on the grade campers will be entering in Fall 2027 (2027–2028 academic year).
- High School Division: Entering grades 9–11
- Middle School Division: Entering grades 6–8
- Youth Division: Entering grades 4–5
Note: During camp, coaches may help players who are on the edge between divisions find the best group for them.

Mornings focus on fundamentals and individual improvement, afternoons feature demonstrations and additional skill development, and evenings bring everything together through games and team competition.
The fun doesn't stop when campers leave the field! Throughout the week, we mix in exciting contests, recreational activities, and opportunities to relax, have fun, and connect with fellow campers. From our popular Fastest Shot and Freestyle Skills Competitions to a variety of off-field activities, there's plenty to enjoy beyond lacrosse.
