Camp Philosophy

At most camps, players are seen as a "number." At Around the Crease Lacrosse we look at you as a future Division I, II, or III college athlete. We want you to feel that you are walking away a better individual lacrosse player and better teammate to your high school, club or potential college team. That is our COMMITMENT TO YOU!

Enrollment

Maximum enrollment is 100 players. We want you to have the best hands on experience and that's why we keep our numbers low!

Facilities

Nickerson Field, a newly renovated state of the art field turf facility, will be home to this summer's camp. The facility boasts the #1 rated college & professional playing surface in the country! In addition three full size gyms and an indoor tennis surface may be used depending on weather.

All resident players will be housed 2 per room in Boston University’s West Campus and will be supervised 24 hours a day! Meals will be provided by the dining hall directly underneath their dorm and overlooking Nickerson Field.
