Lacrosse jobs at summer camps are a fantastic fit for college players, club coaches, and high school lacrosse pros who want to share the fastest game on two feet with the next generation. From traditional sleepaway camps offering daily lacrosse rotations to specialty lacrosse residential camps featuring top NCAA coaches, lacrosse staff find rich teaching environments throughout the summer where they can develop young athletes at every level.
As a lacrosse coach at an overnight camp, you’ll teach stick skills, passing, shooting, defense, and game IQ while running drills, scrimmages, and inter-camp games. You’ll plan practice progressions, organize intra-camp tournaments, and support color war and special event programming. Many co-ed residential camps run lacrosse alongside soccer, field hockey, and football, giving multi-sport coaches a packed and varied summer.
What does a lacrosse coach at summer camp do?
You’ll teach stick skills, passing, shooting, defense, and game tactics while running drills and games. Most sleepaway camps include lacrosse in daily athletics rotations throughout the summer camp season.
What playing background works best for lacrosse jobs?
College or high school playing experience and prior club or school coaching are highly valued. Specialty residential lacrosse camps often prefer coaches with Division I, II, or III collegiate playing or coaching backgrounds.
Do summer camps provide lacrosse equipment?
Most overnight camps provide sticks, balls, goals, and goalie equipment. You’ll usually need your own cleats and mouthguard. Specialty residential lacrosse camps often have additional advanced training tools and equipment.
What does the pay look like for lacrosse jobs at summer camps?
Pay is competitive and commensurate with experience and credentials. Sleepaway camps include room, board, and laundry alongside salary, which adds meaningful value to the overall summer camp package beyond the base figure.
Can current college lacrosse players coach at summer camps?
Yes — many residential camps actively recruit current collegiate lacrosse players. Just verify NIL and NCAA compliance with your athletic department before accepting any paid camp coaching role at a sleepaway camp.
