Summer Camp
Boys & girls entering grades 3–9 · five full days each July at Lincoln Park Fields.
About Camp
What grades does Battle Road serve?
Boys and girls entering 3rd through 9th grade.
Are boys and girls together?
Same camp, same days, same fields — but boys and girls play separately. Coach Dave Walsh leads the boys’ program and Coach Indigo Fox Tree leads the girls’ program, each with their own coaching staff and field space.
What if my child has never played lacrosse?
Beginners are welcome. We group campers by skill level and run a full curriculum that meets new players where they are — starting with the fundamentals (cradling, scooping, passing, catching) and building from there.
What’s your camper-to-coach ratio?
We aim for a 7:1 camper-to-coach ratio. We don’t cap enrollment — instead, we hire the appropriate number of coaches based on registration. That way every camper gets real instruction and real reps, regardless of how many show up.
A Day at Camp
What does my child need to bring?
Full equipment, plus a water bottle.
- Boys: Stick, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, mouthguard
- Girls: Stick, goggles, mouthguard
- Everyone: Water bottle, cleats or turf shoes preferred, sunscreen
Camp pinnies are provided.
Is lunch provided?
Yes — lunch is served daily, with allergy options available. Let us know about specific dietary needs at registration.
Water and shade?
Campers should bring a water bottle. We have a water refilling station, bathrooms, and shade tents on site, and the staff builds frequent water breaks into every session.
Is there an athletic trainer on site?
Yes — a certified athletic trainer is on site full-time during camp hours.
What about weather?
We do not cancel camp days for weather. In the event of lightning, buses are on site so campers can shelter safely until conditions clear and play resumes.
Logistics
Where exactly is the camp?
Lincoln Park Fields, 100 Lincoln Street, Lexington, Massachusetts — just a minute off I-95.
What are the camp hours?
9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We do not offer extended hours, before-care, or after-care.
Photos and media?
Photo permissions are part of the camper agreement that families complete during registration.

Summer 2027 registration opens this winter, and tuition is announced with the dates. Join the 2027 list and we’ll email you the moment it opens.
What’s your refund policy?
We don’t have a formal refund policy at this time. If you need to cancel, please contact Coach Walsh as early as possible and we’ll do our best to work with you.
HS Clinics
Between-season skill work for high school players · fall and winter in Lexington.
Who is the fall clinic for?
Boys in grades 9–12, all positions welcome. It is open to any and all high school boys in Massachusetts — you do not need to attend Lexington High School or have been a Battle Road camper.
Is there a girls fall clinic?
Not this fall — the fall clinic is boys grades 9–12. The summer camp is for both boys and girls. If a girls clinic is added, it will be announced on the clinics page.
When and where does it meet?
Wednesdays, September 9 through October 28, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:45 p.m. at Lincoln Field #3, 100 Lincoln Street, Lexington — the same complex as the summer camp.
What does it cost?
$200 for all eight 105-minute sessions. Registration is handled through the same portal as camp — register here.
What does a session look like?
Each session targets 45 minutes of instruction and skill development followed by roughly an hour of competitive live scrimmaging — our individual-instruction-to-game-play training model. Pinnies are included for Battle Road players.
What if I have to miss a session, or need a refund?
Contact Coach Walsh with any refund inquiries and we’ll work with you.
When is the winter clinic?
Winter 2027 dates are being finalized and will be announced this fall. Email us to be notified when registration opens.
