Beyond the game: We emphasize
Sportsmanship & Citizenship
What sets our camp apart? Cardigan boasts of a supportive
environment, location, facilities, and level of instruction—
but, we are most proud of our reputation for teaching lessons
beyond the game of lacrosse. From the first camp meeting
through the closing ceremony, players will hear references
made to life lessons that will serve them well on and off the
field. In keeping with the heritage of lacrosse as played by
many Native American nations, we want campers to honor
and respect the game, their teammates, and their opponents.
“We
have noticed a
significant positive change
returns in 2016 to work with the double session players and to
speak of lessons learned as a Vietnamese boat refugee, a martial arts expert, and as the grandson of a Vietnamese Buddhist,
that have enabled him to effectively confront bullying, exclusion, and discrimination.
In 2013 Kevin Pearce, the charismatic half-pipe snowboarder, spoke of his journey back from the devastating accident he suffered while training for the 2010 Winter Olympics,
and the brain injury hazards associated with sports. Past inspirational speakers have been: Diana Nyad, Hall of Fame
swimmer and renowned TV sports journalist; Sidiki Conde,
the irrepressible dancer and drummer; Travis Roy, former
Boston U. hockey player; and Carlos Moleda, former
Navy SEAL and Ironman champion.
Sign up early to avoid disappointment!
in our son’s confidence and overall
happiness and we believe it all

Lax Camp.”
Have fun and step up your game!
We’re one of the very best “teaching” camps. Many
players see Cardigan as their best chance to develop
their skills prior to upcoming tryouts for select and club
teams. It’s a place where they’re assured of receiving
individual attention from top-notch coaches in a “we’re
all in this together” supportive atmosphere. A typical
sentiment expressed at the end of last year’s camp, “My
son felt Cardigan helped his confidence. He feels ready
for tryouts.” All players receive a written personal evaluation at the end of camp.
