  • Season 2025
    Good skills transfer. My daughter had fun
  • Season 2022
    Getting high quality lacrosse instructions multiple days in a row
  • Season 2019
    Well done! My daughter had a blast - the camp was so fun and gave the campers a lot of valuable lacrosse skills. Every single coach, every camper were just incredibly positive and professional. She loved every day. I was really impressed with the sheer diversity of skills and drills - shooting practice, defending, and the great ideas around changing it up often - giant hungry hippo, boys vs. girls where boys use girls sticks. So inventive.
  • Season 2018
    My daughter really enjoyed the camp and said her coaches were great! She had a super positive experience even though she just started playing and only knew a few of the other girls at camp.
  • Season 2017
    My daughter enjoyed the scrimmages and the games. She loved the goalie training she received and also liked free time and having fun with friends at night.
  • Season 2017
    The demonstration of shooting speeds by the coaches.The coach:camper ratio was great... always had time for questions/clarifications. Goalie specific instruction was valuable.

    This camp as a good confidence builder for basic skills of a new lacrosse player. We will be back next year.

    This camp was first class all the way. My daughter could not stop talking about how much fun she had and all of the friends she made. The coaches created a welcoming environment and made the parents feel safe.
  • Season 2015
    Many thanks for all the great coaching, support and encouragement that my daughter received last week at camp. She loved it, and loved YOU guys, and I cannot thank you enough for being so great to her. She truly had a great time, learned lots and hopefully will now apply that knowledge to the field to help her excel even more.
  • Season 2015
