Lacrosse Experience 2018 at the Pequot Museum


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 08/18/2018
The Pequot Museum will host an unforgettable Lacrosse Experience facilitated and taught by renowned Haudenosauneee cultural educators and life-long Lacrosse players Kevin Sandy (Cayuga) and Christina Bomberry (Mohawk). This is not a “typical lacrosse camp” which focuses solely on improving a players skill level; but it will certainly challenge their ability and expand their knowledge of the game! Players will learn about the cultural foundations of Lacrosse including Haudenosaunee oral traditions about the Creator’s Game, Wooden Lacrosse Stick and Field Lacrosse Teachings, and how stickball games are played by indigenous groups across North America. Players will also take part in interactive drills, team relays, and challenges throughout all three days.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

The registration cost of $225 per participant includes three full days of instruction - held both indoors and outside on our beautiful green roof terrace; water throughout the day, snacks and lunch each day. Players will learn about the cultural foundations of Lacrosse including Haudenosaunee oral traditions about the Creator’s Game, Wooden Lacrosse Stick and Field Lacrosse Teachings, and how stickball games are played by indigenous groups across North America.  Players will also take part in interactive drills, team relays, and challenges throughout all three days. Parents can drop off students at 10am and pick up at 3pm at Group Entry (the set of doors closest to the parking lot) on all three days.  Participants are responsible to bring their own water bottles and lacrosse stick and are encouraged to wear sunscreen, a hat, and athletic wear including comfortable athletic shoes. 

Space is limited; once the experience has reached maximum capacity; all other applications will not be accepted.
