Session #1: Monday, June 25th - Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Future Stars Camp will not be held this summer.

Our Future Stars Camp has a specialized curriculum that is designed to have fun while learning. The boys and girls will be taught many lacrosse fundamentals and techniques that will allow them to grow to be fine players. There are 2 sessions per day - a morning session followed by swim time (if avail), lunch in Wesleyan's Dining Hall, and then an afternoon session. There will be two sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday there will be a morning session with championship games  and a great closing ceremony.

Instruction
Tim Oelgoetz (WCL boys director) and Kristina Llanes (WCL girls director) will oversee the Future Stars Day Camp as well as our regular overnight and day camp. Tim, the head coach at New Milford High School and Kristina, the head women's lacrosse and soccer coach at Maritime College (SUNY) will direct their staff who will be utilizing a special program that is geared for the younger player. It is designed to have fun while learning.

"Just wanted to tell you what a great time my son Marcus had at your camp a few weeks ago. He really enjoyed the drills, games and of course the social life! Marcus felt he got a lot out of the instruction. Thanks again."
