Loves Camp!
July 28, 2017: My daughter enjoyed playing with the other kids her age and learning new lacrosse skills. And she loves camp in general - so she enjoyed being away. The yoga, talent show, player vs. coach scrimmage were all highlights for her.

Well done!
August 9, 2015: Thanks so much for the superior experience you all provided at the recent Xcelerate Nike Lacrosse camp in BW. This was truly well done from check in to check out and our daughter had a ball. Of particular note was the excellent coaching staff. We had the opportunity on four occasions to come and observe. Each time we saw care, professionalism, passion and skill being passed on to the participants...it was really inspiring for the kids and us as well. In particular, your emphasis on teaching individualized skills on a daily basis, positive reward as a teaching philosophy and helping them understand the power of being a team player were especially evident. Thanks!
