Homegrown Lacrosse Summer Camps have been a highlight of youth & high school lacrosse players in Minnesota since 2004.
Developed as Minnesota's first youth and high school lacrosse-specific camps, our dedicated staff works to develop each player’s strengths both physically and mentally. With one of the lowest camper to counselor ratios in the country (4:1), Homegrown Summer Camp engages and challenges players of all skill levels.
The cornerstone of camp is our Leadership Development Program (L.D.P.) which trains and connects volunteer high school and collegiate counselors to small groups of campers. Throughout the week, L.D.P. counselors participate alongside the campers and provide individual support and encouragement. As a result, each camper gets a mentor they can look up to and rely on.

The Coaches at our camp are made up of professional players and HG’s Senior Staff who all have collegiate playing backgrounds and years of experience coaching at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels.
The state of the art facilities at the University of St. Thomas provides the perfect backdrop for plenty of non-stop lacrosse action.
We are more than happy to accommodate campers who want to come to an overnight camp but do not want to stay overnight on campus.
There are two options for "Extended Day Camp", which is based on whether or not the player stays for dinner.
For more information, to get pricing, or to sign up as an extended day camper, please contact camp director, Kyle Fuller at kyle@homegrownlacrosse.org
