Not only does the team celebrate their success on the field but is also dedicated to the development of lacrosse in the state of Minnesota. The entire coaching staff currently lives and works in Minnesota.

Throughout camp, all players will not only be taught how to improve their own lacrosse skills, they will be introduced to all facets of the game. Strength training, individual work-outs, proper nutrition, and recruiting will all be covered during the five days at camp. Along with all room and board, three meals a day, and instruction from experienced coaches, all players will receive a camp reversible and shorts. Several prizes and awards will also be given out throughout camp.


WHY ATTEND THE BULLDOG LACROSSE CAMP?

  • Camper to Coach ratio is very low (7:1).
  • We offer several more hours of on-field and instructional lacrosse time than the average daytime lacrosse camp.
  • While offering everything a day camp offers PLUS all meals, room and board, and all college campus facilities', the Bulldog camp is only $150 more than the average day camp.
  • The Bulldog camp will offer Goalie and face off specific coaches who will work closely with all goalies and face off specialists the entire camp.
