Carissa T. - Camper I had such a great time at lacrosse camp this summer. I played so much lacrosse and I wouldn\'t have it any other way. The coaches were great and my roommate was really cool.
Raquel L. - Camper I really enjoyed my time at camp this summer. I made a friend that I will be friends with for a long time. I had such a great time playing lacrosse and meeting new people.
Dennis R. - Parent This is a great example of what a camp should look like. My daughter learned a lot about being a better lacrosse player. She has been putting in an extra hour of practice each day to try and reach the next level. That was a big part of what she took away from camp.
Randy R. - Parent I was very impressed by the coaches on your staff. The coaching curriculum was excellently designed. I will highly recommend your camp.
Jessica - Parent The campus was absolutely stunning and clean. The food was a delicious variety that my daughter loved. She has already shared fond memories of getting ice cream in Wolfboro and dorm room giggles. The fun of Olympic competition games and the excitement of learning to check. It was a great balance of fun and skills for all ages. This was the first time my daughter was away from home for several nights and she had a great experience! Once again thank you for all your efforts in creating such a memorable lacrosse camp experience.
