About the Camp

The Great Northwest Lacrosse Camp has, for the past 12 years, provided a positive and effective learning environment for its campers. With an emphasis on individual skill development and team concepts, the directors and staff of the camp also place a high priority on creating an enjoyable setting in which to play lacrosse.   We expect the campers to bring with them the willingness to work hard, accept instruction, follow camp rules, and have fun. Players of all levels of ability are welcome and we will provide supervised playing conditions at all times. 

Our camp has helped produce some of the finest young players in the northwest, of whom many have gone on to play with colleges all around the country.  The directors and staff of the Great Northwest Lacrosse Camp look forward to having you join us this year.
