Fessenden Summer Camps

Lacrosse Camp – Entering Grades 1-9

The Fessenden Lacrosse Camp is for both new and experienced players. While campers who are new to the sport get to try out each position, seasoned lacrosse players get individualized instruction in the tactics they need to be more successful on the field. Players of all ability levels pick up the finer points of offensive and defensive responsibilities, stick control, and safe body checking, while learning perseverance.

New in 2023 – The Fessenden lacrosse program will include three separate camps; Junior Lacrosse Camp, Senior Lacrosse Camp & Girls Lacrosse Camp*.

  • Ability appropriate instruction
  • Individualized instruction at each position (including goalies)
  • Fundamental skill clinics each morning
  • Controlled game situations each afternoon
  • Various eye/hand coordination games for skill improvement
  • Cooperative games for communication improvement
  • Lacrosse strategy and philosophy
  • Game films and video training tapes during lunch break each day
  • Conditioning games for improved strength and stamina
  • Playing on state-of-the-art turf fields with safe, organic infill
  • Free swim time

In my free time…
I enjoy running, bicycling, and playing sports of all kinds. I am passionate about traveling and experiencing new places and things. I also enjoy cooking, playing with my dog, and going to the beach.

My favorite book is…
My favorite book is probably Lonesome Dove. I have always enjoyed Western adventure novels.
