Lorne Smith Lacrosse

“Having come from California, I was at a disadvantage because I didn’t grow up playing lacrosse, unlike the kids from the East Coast who were born with sticks in their hands. Lorne’s camps helped me become a smarter attackmen in so many different ways: transition, settled offensive situations, dodging, stick protection, and most importantly for me, shooting. Coaches will often compliment me on my knowledge of the game, and I owe a lot of this to Lorne’s teaching. In addition, I took shooting lessons from Lorne which eventually helped me stand out at recruiting camps. All this aside, if there was one thing I remember about Lorne’s camps, it was that they were fun and I always felt like a better player after his camps ended.”

During the past nine years Lorne has directed over 35 camps at places like Stanford, University of Oregon, UCLA, and UCSB. In 2008 he began running his Bay Area camps at Menlo College, which provides an ideal camp setting on a beautiful college campus. The University of Oregon camp continues to be one of the largest camps in Oregon every year, and is a great way for players thinking about attending UO to get a first-hand look at the school and lacrosse program.

Lorne’s combination of professionalism, knowledge, experience, organization, and passion for the game has earned him a reputation as one of the top camp directors in the country. Learn new skills, play games, and have a blast – if you have to choose one camp to go to this summer, make it a Lorne Smith camp.

Menlo College Overnight Lacrosse Camp

Menlo College provides the perfect setting for Lorne’s Bay Area lacrosse camps. In addition to pool access, campers will love that the fields, dorms, and cafeteria are all within a five minute walk of each other. Enrollment is limited to 120 campers.

University of Oregon Overnight Lacrosse Camp

This camp has become a melting pot of players from all over the West Coast. In 2008 we had groups from Washington, Portland, Bend, Eugene, Southern California, Idaho, and Northern California. We will once again have a large contingent of UO players and coaches on staff, and it is the perfect opportunity for any players considering UO for their college choice to take a visit, meet the current team, and see the school.

Menlo College Day Lacrosse Camps

Ideal for players in their first few years of playing lacrosse who are not yet HS Varsity caliber. This camp mixes individual and team instruction in the mornings with games in the afternoons. We have two identical sessions to choose from, or you may just want to come to both to get the most lacrosse out of your summer!

"Lorne —

I just wanted to thank you personally for all the great camps that my son Ramond has attended with you over the years — and will continue to attend for the next few years for sure! Ray has been to lacrosse camps hosted by many different groups over the past 5 years, but he has always considered the quality level of your coaches to be the absolute best."
