Coming off a semifinal appearance in the 4A state tournament this spring, Evergreen’s boys lacrosse team is cutting summer vacation short to get back on the field to host a youth camp in July.
The Cougars — who finished 15-3 overall and 4-1 in the 4A Foothills League this spring — announced a lacrosse camp for boys ages kindergarten through eighth grade on July 30, 31 and Aug. 1 at the high school fields. Sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon each camp day. All skill levels are welcome.
According to a release, players will get “hands-on instruction through engaging drills, scrimmages and character challenges” led by team players and coaches.
“We’re proud to bring together young athletes from across the community to celebrate the fastest game on two feet,” said Head Coach Mark Stapor. “It’s about building skills, confidence and friendships — and of course, having a ton of fun.”
The camp registry costs $150 per player. Each camper will receive a certificate to redeem for a custom T-shirt or water bottle from the event.
All proceeds from the camp go directly back into the lacrosse program, helping with organizational costs like game transportation and equipment.
Evergreen lost to eventual three-time champion Dakota Ridge in the semifinal round, snapping an eight-game winning streak for the Cougars. The program has enjoyed three consecutive double-digit winning seasons.
