  • Season 2018
    My son enjoyed meeting new people. He liked the fact that the camp was broken up to positional skills and he definitely learned new skills in setting up picks and rolling off picks. As a parent, I appreciated the app and how organized drop off registration was and pick up. All of the staff were very kind and welcoming.

  • Season 2018
    He had the best time at camp! The coaching staff was exceptional! He learned a lot of new techniques and is asking to come back next year!
  • Season 2018
    My son loved the stringing clinic and all of the coaches. I think you also challenged him. He is excited to go back again. He also said he could have stayed for 1-2 more days.
  • Season 2018
    What an awesome camp with an awesome team of coaches. My son met new friends, learned a ton about lacrosse and being a good teammate and he had so much fun. He can’t wait for next year! Thanks Xcelerate for an amazing experience!
  • Season 2017
    My son loved meeting new friends and interacting with the counselors. They made the camp educational and fun at the same time! My son loved the opportunity to swim mid-day. It really gave him time to recharge and focus.

  • Season 2017
    My son had fun and was so exhausted he hardly noticed that he was working out almost the entire day! My son loved the entire experience. But, he could NOT stop talking about the BW facilities in particular. He loved the grounds and the FOOD!
  • Season 2017
    My son thoroughly enjoyed the whole camp experience. The highlight is the evening games and being able to use what he learned during the day in the game at night. The smaller camp makes for more coach/player interaction which is crucial for better player development and greater enjoyment for the camper. The kids really get to know the coaches and the personal interaction/attention given to each camper is invaluable.
  • Season 2016
    Such a phenomenal experience all the way around. From the staff who answered to phones for Nike, to the fantastic team of coaches at Baldwin Wallace, this was the best experience possible. I was so impressed! He asked to return next year before we'd even returned home!
  • Season 2016
    My son had never played Lacrosse before this camp. He was able to learn some very solid basic skills. He feels confident that he will be able to play with his school team this coming year. It was a great experience for him and he is happy he found a new sport to play!
  • Season 2016
    This was my son's first sleep away camp, and he went in without knowing anyone. From the moment we arrived at checkin, I knew that this camp was something special. The staff is amazing and the setup is perfect (small, contained, safe feeling). By the end of the first night, I was getting a flurry of happy texts. My son got great coaching and instruction and a fantastic experience. I would honestly have paid the entire amount just for the talk the coaches gave at departure! The coaches, from the top down, knew each of the kids and said goodbye warmly at the end. The staff were good teachers and amazing role models. I've already told all the lacrosse moms in my area!
  • Season 2015
    This camp truly made me a better player. Every drill and talk had meaning behind it, which made camp that much more special. Working with these coaches was not only fun, but a chance to see what I need to do to improve and be serious about the sport. Going to this camp has made me value the off season that much more and shown me that I need to put in the work to get the results. Thank you for making me serious about the game!
  • Season 2015
    My son has had the time of his life! He really likes his coaches and has mentioned several times how much he has learned. He has already said he wants to go back next year! So, I guess we will see you again next summer. Thanks for all you have done to make this a great experience for my son.
  • Season 2015
    My son said he had the best time I’ve ever had in my whole life at your camp----so thank you!!! We’ll definitely have him attend a couple of sessions next year. It was awesome for him in so many ways!!!
  • Season 2015
    The instruction and on-field time was outstanding! We are definitely going to do it again next year!
  • Season 2015
    Your staff truly inspired an abiding love of the sport. Xcelerate really lit the fire. A great investment!
  • Season 2015
    My son learned many new skills during the Xcelerate Nike lacrosse camp, and he had a great time while doing so. He is already looking forward to next year's camp, and we've been telling all of our lacrosse friends about it. Thanks for a great camp!
  • Season 2014
    This was one of my son's favorite camps. The high energy coaches and fun atmosphere made the drills and learning enjoyable. He would like to do the camp again.
