    Never a dull moment!

    There was never a dull moment during the camp. All of the campers, including myself, were always very engaged and were always learning something new. I really enjoyed the opportunity to be coached by people who have played competatively and know the sport. I also really enjoyed the campus and experiencing what it feels like to live in the dorms. Maybe one day I will go as far as they did!

    First of many!

    The coaches were very good at solving conflicts and making everyone feel safe. I was a little nervous, with my daughter being on the younger side, to leave her in the care of the coaches, but after meeting them at check-in I knew she was in good hands. Everything was very organized and efficient. My daughter didn't even have time to feel homesick because there were so many activities going on for all of th campers. When I picked her up she could not stop smiling and raving about her experiences and new friends. This is the first of many overnight camps my daughter will be attending!

    Thank you!

    Never has my daughter been so excited for her upcoming lacrosse season. After camp all she talks about is lacrosse and how she cannot wait to show off all her new skills. I am so pleased to hear her be this excited about a sport! Thank you for the lovely experience!
