    My daughter came away from camp with increased confidence. She felt like she improved her skills and also feels like she is a better player than she previously realized.
  • Season 2023
    My daughter had a great experience, and greatly improved her skills. She said during the practice it all "clicked" and made sense.

    My Daughter said that she had a great time meeting new people from other lax programs.

    She loved meeting new friends, she enjoyed the coaches and she really had a blast with the Lax Olympics! She would definitely attend this camp again!
  • Season 2021
    My daughter absolutely loved the knowledgeable coaches that helped with her skills training and everyone was so pleasant to be around. She loved everything about this camp and the coaching staff!
  • Season 2021
    The sessions in the morning were perfect for the kids to improve their skills for the afternoon scrimmages. It was a high quality camp run by extremely knowledgeable coaches.
  • Season 2019
    The camp had excellent drills for the children to grow as top level Lacrosse players. Coach Hodge and his team did an excellent job explaining the finer details of body mechanics of a movement and helped my daughter with the “why” something has to be done. We have done many other bigger camps but this one by far is the best lacrosse camp we have attended. In addition, the break up of the children in different teams to scrimmage every evening helped them out in action the skills they developed. All the kids bonded and helped each other grow. I would highly recommend this camp and we look forward to attending next year.
