There are some that extend through Friday. Depending on maturity it is probably better if the player is older than 13 before going to a resident camp. Camps are almost always conducted on local college campuses such as Slippery Rock, IUP, California, or Geneva. The coaches are highly licensed, with emphasis on individual skill improvement, team tactics, sportsmanship, nutrition, and conditioning. College, high school, and national and international club coaches are on the staff of camps.
Collegiate players participate as assistant coaches and serve as resident hall counselors.
Many good contacts can be achieved here. Evaluations are provided. Players actually make many friends from other schools and other clubs. Two friends going together insures a better experience, especially going away for the first time.
