WHY
LEADERSHIP
MATTERS
Dear Parents and Campers,
I’d like to introduce our new Lacrosse and
Leadership Camp for Boys to you. I have designed
this camp to address a void in the growing lacrosse
community. While players are spending time
playing for sometimes multiple teams, there
appears to be a lack of leadership and team
building development. We have found the perfect
facility for this camp—the Duquette Sports
Academy. This locale offers us the best of both
worlds—a top-notch training environment with
several athletic fields, along with a traditional camp
setting that comes complete with cabins, a dining
hall, a lake, and camp fire area.
At camp, we will help campers learn about being
part of something - a team or cause - bigger than
themselves. The camp will combine outstanding
lacrosse instruction with off-field camp activities
designed to promote teamwork and teach
leadership skills. At the end of camp, we want all
campers to not only be better lacrosse players,
but also recognize how as leaders they can be
more valuable to their team, their school, and
their community.
