US LACROSSE CAMPS
Our lacrosse camps are designed to teach the technical basics and love of the game to the beginning player, to introduce strategical decision, team play, and more advanced technique to the intermediate player, while building on their current skills, and to put the advanced player into pressured, strategical and competitive situations. Our boys camp will feature a College Prep curriculum designed to assist our high school players with preparing to play collegiate lacrosse.
Groups will be divided into small groups of approximately 9 campers to one coach. Primarily the ratio of camper to staff is 9:1, however, in many instructional situations the ratio is smaller and our boys camp offers 1 on 1 private lessons.

All activities both on and off the fields are supervised by mature and responsible staff members. Safety is a top priority throughout the week. With more than 20 years experience running sports camps, we have developed detailed rules and regulations in order to provide a safe atmosphere at the camp. No one is allowed to leave campus or leave their group during camp. Supervision in the residence halls at night ensures the campers are getting adequate rest. In addition, campus security is present at all times.
What little spare time the campers do have is used to eat meals and relax and get out of the sun during the day. In addition to the daytime off time, the campers have evening activities each night. This includes Ice Cream socials, Pizza nights, Movie nights, Game room night, Talent show, Trivia Casino night and activities such as these.
Campers stay in the school’s residence halls. The students are typically housed 2 to a room (although in certain circumstances triples are available). Special arrangements can be made to have multiple rooms next to each other if requested. We will make every effort to meet your requests.
Our US Lacrosse Camp Staff is on duty 24 hours a day, on the fields, in the dormitories, in the cafeteria, at the pool….wherever our campers are present during the overnight camps. In addition, our campuses have a 24-hour camp security and a full-time, year round campus police security.
YES! Our camps have ‘All You Can Eat’ buffets at every meal time to make sure each camper gets plenty to eat. There are multiple options at each meal and can accommodate all types of food preferences, including vegetarians, vegans, and all types of food allergies. Each food option is marked with health content and ingredients. In addition, the dining staff will help any child with food allergies or preferences.
YES! Although the dorms do not have refrigerators in the rooms, please feel free to bring snacks, drinks, and coolers for your room. Although ample food is available at camp, many kids like to have snacks in their rooms. In addition, the student union on campus has a snack bar/grocery where additional snacks can be purchased.
Typically our rooms are not air conditioned, therefore we recommend that each camper brings 1 or more desk and/or floor fans as the rooms can get hot. Please check the particular camp page to verify dorm and whether there is air conditioning (if not stated – no air conditioning is available)
