Future Stars lacrosse camps offer players of all abilities and positions the unique opportunity to learn the game from experienced, enthusiastic and supportive lacrosse coaches and collegiate athletes.
Our camp offers dynamic instruction of basics to younger, less experienced players; and more complex skill sets to older, more experienced players. Our amazing staff creates a positive learning environment and works to motivate each camper so they leave with a sense of accomplishment each day.
Through technical demonstrations, all facets of the game are covered for both the boys and girls game; dodging, passing, catching, shooting, cradling, ground balls, face-offs, draw control, penalty shots, goal keeping, team offense & defense, riding, transitions, and plenty more. Speed and agility drills will also be incorporated throughout the week and rules of the game will be discussed on a daily basis.
To supplement instructional periods, each day includes a combination of games and friendly competitions which provide the ultimate opportunity for learning skills and gaining confidence while having fun.

Office Crew
Behind the scenes is our office crew. The backbone of our camp operations during the summer.

Kristen & Terri – educators and coaches with experience and a passion for sports and all things fun!

Who are your staff members?
Our staff comprises of coaches, teachers, instructors and collegiate student-athletes who share a passion for working with children and have experience and know-how in their respective fields.
What are the ratios?
Typically, between 8-10:1. Exceptions are Rising Stars (5:1) and Tennis (6:1) on court.
What happens during inclement weather?
Camp still runs as planned. If possible, we prefer to have our programs continue with their normal programming. However, if and when inclement weather mandates we go indoors, we have ample indoor space to utilize and programs will rotate within those spaces.
What happens on really hot days?
Our experienced coaching staff will take additional water/shade breaks throughout the day. There are shaded areas and tents around the athletic fields where groups can rest between activities. Campers are able to cool off by our misting fans or even take a quick run through the sprinklers that we turn on. Water Park time would also be extended for that day, not to mention access to air-conditioned indoor space.

Menus are planned for variety, taste, and nutrition so our campers can relax and enjoy themselves while preparing for their afternoon activities.
Our staff will make sure your camper has the food they enjoy in the comfortable surroundings of the air-conditioned cafeteria.
Aramark is the year-round food service provider for Farmingdale State College. Their professional staff works full-time and is dedicated to culinary delights and food safety.
CLICK HERE FOR OUR SAMPLE LUNCH MENU
This will provide a sample of what is offered throughout the summer. Meals rotate on a bi-weekly schedule, but some items may be offered more than once a week or on a daily basis, like our pizza station.
Special dietary needs can be addressed and food allergies are not a problem.
Aramark in now a "nut-free" food service provider at Farmingdale State College.
We also provide a snack for all campers towards the end of the day.
*Campers that bring their lunch, eat in a separate air-conditioned café setting, in the same building, just beside the “buyers” cafeteria. This is per instructions from Aramark, as each camper on the lunch program is accounted for and free to eat as much as they like while in the cafeteria. Our staff accompanies the campers in both locations and a trainer is on-site during lunch time.
Each day, all programs will have 45 minutes to an hour to cool off and chill out in our designated “Waterpark” and “Game Tent” areas. Campers taking part in our entertaining waterpark activities will change in separate locker rooms for boys and girls and will be accompanied by multiple staff members to make sure they get in and out with no problems. Team members will assist campers when needed, and there are multiple bathroom and shower stalls for privacy.
The Waterpark features “THE BIG KAHUNA” – our inflatable Double Lane Waterslide that kids don’t want to leave and love sliding down over and over again! In addition, we have another "Big Wave" Waterslide, an inflatable Double Lane Slip’n’Slide, Sprinklers and Dunk Tank, where campers can try to dunk some of our staff on Fridays. We also bring in other inflatables over the summer for additional fun; water slides, obstacle courses, bounch houses.
Our Game Tent area features a GaGa Pit, Ping Pong Tables, Nok Hockey Tables, Bag Toss, Kan Jam, Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4, Giant Checkers, a Nukem Court and more! We’re always adding new games year-after-year and even break out the inflatable tug-o-war and other fun inflatables throughout that summer.
Click HERE to see a video showcasing our facilities, including some shots of the waterpark and game tent. Not all water features may be shown, as some specialty slides are rented week-to-week for additional water fun!
