My two sons have been to a lot of lacrosse camps but their experience at Paul Jepsen’s Nike Lacrosse Camp in Palo Alto was the best. They loved the instruction, the facility, but most important the reps. All of the pointers, tips and explanations played out in real time on the field in drills and scrimmages. When things needed fine tuning, Coach Paul and his staff of former and current players would intercede, explain the nuance, and then resume for the boys to demonstrate what they learned . We can’t wait to return!

Dear Coach Jepsen and Nike USA Sports Camps, As a guardian of an emerging young lacrosse enthusiast, I would like to express my profound gratitude for the unparalleled summer camp experience you and your staff offered my son, Stanton Flick, at your prestigious summer 2021 Stanford Lacrosse Camp. Coming from Dallas, TX, 11-year-old Stanton was a novice in the sport, having only attended nine hourly training sessions under a high school varsity coach before the camp. Despite his lacrosse greenness, your team displayed exemplary patience and cultivated his latent talent with great care and expertise. Your camp, set amidst the remarkable surroundings of Stanford and culminating in the thrilling PLL All-Star game, was an enriching platform for Stanton to learn and love the sport. The experience, enriched by the laudable spirit of the Stanford institution you so admirably represent, certainly left an indelible mark on us. With immense joy and gratitude, I share Stanton's recent recruitment at 13 by the esteemed IMG Academy for lacrosse. This key achievement, only two years post the camp, undeniably owes its realization to the robust foundation laid by your exceptional coaching. On behalf of Stanton and myself, thank you, Coach Jepsen, for your significant contribution to his early lacrosse journey. For validation of these statements, please visit: https://www.instagram.com/kjflicklax/ . This past year as a 7th grader, Stanton practiced with Parish Varsity Lacrosse. A team member of his is Tre Freeman, a 3-star recruit to Stanford Football this season. Tre Williams, Parish Episcopal School, Edge (247sports.com) Coach J, you live a life of purpose!
