Kara M. - Camper If I had to pick what the best part of camp was, it was meeting new people who liked playing lacrosse as much as I do. The coaches were great teachers and they made learning about lacrosse tons of fun.
Hannah S. - Parent We sent our daughter to the GameBreaker camp this summer and she had an unbelievable time. Each day that I went to pick her up she could not stop telling me about all the drills they did that day. I could see how much more she loved playing lacrosse day by day.
