Below are some questions to help answer any questions you may have about our camps. If your question isn’t listed below, please feel free to contact us.
Is my son safe at Millon Lacrosse Camp?
Safety is an important focus for us at Millon Lacrosse Camp. After almost 30 years of operating successful summer camps, Millon Lacrosse has an impeccable safety record and has detailed rules and regulations in order to provide a safe atmosphere at the camp.
Each camper stays in a specified dorm which is supervised 24 hours a day. Millon Camp assigns a specific Safety Director whose job for the week is to oversee all security details and monitor the campers at all times. In the dorms, we will have staff assigned to rooms on each of the floors with the campers and we have certified athletic trainers on the field. We also employ coaches as our “Day Camp Coordinators” who are specifically in charge of the day campers throughout the week.
When your son checks in for camp and there are specific medical problems we need to be aware of, we will arrange for him to visit with our certified athletic trainer at that time.
Why should I attend a Millon Lacrosse Camp?
Almost thirty years ago, Mark Millon, one of the top lacrosse players in the world, developed what has become the premiere teaching camp for young lacrosse players. Mark is not only a great player but a student of the game and has developed a methodology and curriculum that has been the recipe for the camp’s success. Not only do we have a curriculum but we have the passion and energy to execute it year in and year out. Many camps roll the balls out and let the kids play and call themselves an instructional camp. WE TEACH and develop, period.
Mark’s methodology focuses on how a young lacrosse athlete should develop many core basic skills in order to compete at a top high school or college or at the professional level. Millon lacrosse has had nearly 50,000 athletes come through and several thousand have gone on to play NCAA lacrosse and some into the MLL.
Is Millon lacrosse camp better for a specific position?
No, not at all. Each summer we have an even number of players at each position and the feedback is incredible across the board. While the director, Mark Millon, played attack, there are also directors for each position. These directors will be professional MLL players or high-level NCAA players or coaches. The instruction level at each position will be equally incredible.
What level of player is Millon lacrosse camp suited for?
We have players from the youth level beginners right up through high-level JV and varsity players. Millon Lacrosse prides itself on being able to cater to each and every player’s skill level. Our goal is to make every player who attends camp a better player regardless of their skill level.
If you are a total beginner you will leave camp with an idea about the game and how to get better. If you are a good varsity player you will leave a better varsity player. Overall the level of competition at our camp is high.
What is a typical day of the overnight or extended day camp like?
We generally have three sessions per day. Early in the week, we do a good amount of teaching and we progress towards playing more games later in the week. We ask that throughout the “game” sessions campers work on what they learned in camp and their weaknesses rather than work on what they are already good at.
How do I contact Millon Lacrosse Camp?
A significant distinction between the Millon Lacrosse Camp and most other camps is that MLC has year-round, full-time employees that work all year to make the campers’ lacrosse experience the best it can be. Any time of year you can contact us at austin@millonlacrosse.com or 443-632-6504
What are the ages for Millon Camp?
Our age groups are 7 to 17 years. We generally break down into groups of 7-9, 11-13, and 14-17-year-olds to be sure that campers are playing with players of the same ability level. Some players will play up and in fairly rare circumstances a total beginner may play down.
Can I get a discount?
Of course you can get a discount! If you qualify for one. We run sales periodically throughout the year which you will see in our marketing emails. For families and teams over 3 players, we ask you to give us a call to discuss case by case.
How many campers per room?
All of the dorms at our camp locations can accommodate two campers per room. Some of the camps have suite-style rooms, but we can only guarantee the immediate roommate request (up to one name only). We will certainly do our best to fulfill additional requests, but we can only guarantee a single roommate.
When will I receive confirmation?
Upon receipt of your registration, you will receive an immediate email confirmation. Approximately two to three weeks prior to camp you will receive a confirmation email containing what to bring to camp, balance payment info, medical and insurance releases, and maps with directions.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
We have many camps in many locations so check in and check out times vary from camp to camp. On each individual camp location page, we have the specifics for THAT CAMP on the tabs toward the bottom of the page. However, this is a rough estimate, and you will receive specific information via email prior to camp that will denote the specific time, location, and date.
All of this will be detailed in the confirmation email that you will receive approximately two to three weeks prior to the session you enrolled in.
What occurs the last day at camp?
On the last morning of camp, Millon Lacrosse Camp will play the “Championship” Games. This is a great time for parents to come out early and watch your son display all the new skills and techniques they have learned throughout the week. Games usually start around 9:30 a.m. on the last day.
When is the balance of registration due?
Your balance and due date will be provided for you in your confirmation email and you must pay your balance by camp check-in.
Will Mark Millon be at the camp?
Yes. It cannot be overstated how much Mark cares about these camps and ensuring that every athlete that comes through has an incredible experience. He will be on-site providing critical leadership and direction at each camp location and you will see him on the field teaching, leading, and motivating the coaches, doing demos, and more.
Where do campers reside?
All campers, staff, and directors will reside in the dormitories at the given location. All of our camps have Air-conditioned dorms, but it doesn’t hurt to bring a fan just in case!
What do campers do for snacks?
There will be a fully stocked camp store at our overnight camps, which will include all sorts of snacks and beverages for the campers to purchase between sessions and at night. In addition, there is a pizza delivery available at night for purchase.
What do campers do after the night session?
The Millon Lacrosse Camp has organized several things each night for campers to participate in which some of them include:
- Movies (PG)
- Question and answer sessions
- Demonstrations of stick stringing, information on college recruiting
- On the last night of each session, there will be a camp barbecue with an enormous raffle
What happens if my son needs to cancel?
If you have to cancel, for any reason, you will be issued a camp credit for all camp fees paid, valid for any of our camps through the end of 2026. Your camp credit can be used for any family member and may be used for any Millon Lacrosse Camp. Cash refunds will only be issued with the purchase of Millon Lacrosse’s Cancellation Insurance.
Cancellation Insurance: For an additional $45, Cancellation Insurance can be added to your registration. Our Cancellation Insurance entitles you to a full cash refund of all your camp fees paid if you cancel before ten (10) days of your camp session. If you have to leave camp early for any reason, you will receive a pro-rated credit for any of your family members for any of our 2024 camps.
Note: $45 Cancellation Insurance fee is non-refundable.
How do I contact Millon Lacrosse during camp time?
During camp, you may call (443) 632-6504 to reach our on-site camp director Austin Stewart at any time. For non-emergencies, you can always email austin@millonlacrosse.com
If I signed up for a specialty clinic, what time do I check-in?
If you have signed up for one of our specialty clinics, you will have one specific time that you are required to check-in. This is irrelevant to your status as a day camper or overnight camper. Your check-in time will be on the first day of camp between 8:00 am and 8:45 am. This will give you time to get your child settled in their room before reconvening at 9:00 am to begin the specialty clinic.
Can I sign up late for a specialty clinic?
In most cases, we can accept late sign-ups for our specialty clinics. They will not always be open to signing up at the last minute. You can always call or email to find out the status of the specialty clinics. We will accept walk-ups if we can!
What are the correct bed sheet sizes?
The bad news is that every camp location has both sizes of beds. The bed width for all the locations is the same. It is twin size width and Millon Lacrosse recommends that you bring the extra-long sheets to camp. The best size you can bring is a set of twin extra-long sheets.
How can I check and pay my camp tuition balance?
The best way to check your remaining balance for camp tuition is to revisit your email and find the receipt you received upon registration for camp. The receipt will show your remaining balance. If you cannot find your receipt, please contact us via email at austin@millonlacrosse.com to receive a reply email with your balance.
There are several ways to pay your balance. You can pay by phone with a credit card or you can send a check to complete payment. When you receive your confirmation email, it will notify you when the remaining balances are due.
How are the dorm rooms situated?
The rooms are situated dorm-style in most of the facilities. This means that each bedroom will consist of two roommates with two beds, dressers, and desks. There are many rooms that may hold three and we do offer 3 person rooms at certain camps. Please call to find out which! Please email us to find out any additional information you may seek.
Can we come to watch games?
You can come to watch the games! We play most of our games after dinner when it is a bit cooler outside. You are absolutely allowed to come to watch your child play. We only ask that you be respectful and remember that competition is the last thing on our minds. We want every camper to get better when they attend camp, and that begins with a stable learning environment. On the last day of our camp, we strongly encourage parents to attend the games to watch the children play. It makes the atmosphere that much better with a big friendly crowd!
How can I find my son to watch him?
Millon Lacrosse Staff will be knowledgeable on exactly where each age group is located on the camp facility. Millon Lacrosse will also communicate with parents the night before the last day to ensure you know where your son will be. The quickest and easiest way to find out is to contact your own camper. They will know exactly where they’re playing by the second day. One more thing to keep in mind, if you cannot locate your child and you are 100% sure you’re at the right place, the camper most like got moved up an age group relevant to their skill level and learning curve.
Will there be swimming pools and does my child need to pack a bathing suit?
We do NOT use the aquatic centers at any of our camps.
