About Lax Summer Overnight Camp
Hotchkiss School

11 Interlaken Road, Lakeville, CT 06039

Campers will enjoy the Hotchkiss School lacrosse fields, beautiful scenery, and on-site lake featuring a number of fun activities. The waterfront area features a dock, stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and more! In addition to cooling off in the lake water, campers will take part in daily leadership activities, yoga classes, and a camp talent show!

Camp is open to girls ages 10 to 16 at all ability levels. Each camper will be assessed and grouped with campers of similar age and ability levels. Adjustments to the groups may be made throughout the week to provide campers with opportunities to train with and compete against different players. Drills and games are designed to help each camper learn, improve, and have fun!

The Girls Lacrosse and Leadership Camp also offers a multi-sport option for girls who also play field hockey and want to split up their week playing both sports.
