Parents Brief

Congratulations! Your Son or Daughter is on their way to the Twelfth Annual Quick Stix Lacrosse Camp.  This letter will outline some important details to keep handy and utilize in packing for camp.  

Camp Dates  & Times                                                                                               

Location: St. George's School, 372 Purgatory Road, Middletown, Rhode Island.  For directions see the Our Locations tab. 

Drop off and pick up area has been moved to the Main Athletic Fields up the center access past the central campus in next to the Field House.  All Campers are required to check in and out every day with his or her coach.

Please do not park along the main access road to the campus.  You may park in designated areas around the field house.

What to Wear: Boys require the full compliment of equipment, which includes stick, shoulder pads, gloves, arm pads, mouthpiece and helmet.  Girls require stick, eye protection (lacrosse goggles) and mouthpiece. Cleats and sneakers should be packed as well.

The boys will receive a reversible mesh jersey which they are to bring each day.  The girls will receive a Quick Stix cotton tank top. Tie-dye and other craft activities will be offered during lunch throughout the week. Pack a bathing suit and towel if you are interested in walking down to the beach with the group for a dip at lunchtime.

In the event of rain, we have use of the field house so it is imperative that each camper pack a pair of sneakers in addition to the cleats.  Other Items to bring include lunch, sunblock, and water bottle. We do not have use of the dining facilities and require that the campers pack a lunch. The camp store is open each day for the campers to purchase sports drinks and snacks.  Campers may sign up for pizza slices at check-in every morning for lunchtime delivery.  Details to follow on the pizza orders.

Valuables:  Please do not send along any valuables, as Quick Stix and St George’s School will not be responsible for items lost or stolen.  There is a designated area for bags, backpacks and lunches.

Important:  Health and Safety:  Quick Stix will employ a camp trainer during camp hours.  It is IMPERATIVE that we be notified of any specific needs your child may have including but not limited to asthma, allergies or any ailment, disease or sickness which may require our attention.

If there is a need to contact the camp due to emergency, Lucy Hamilton @ 401 226 3119 or Peter Schmitz @ 401 714 9207.  Please call only in case of emergency, as we will be actively involved in field activities.

One of the Quick Stix traditions for the boys' program is to establish a nickname for each camper. Some are obvious and some evolve as the week goes on.  We try to make them fun. If your youth has a nickname of choice, please let us know. For the girls' program, a tradition is the all-camp relay races to finish each day.

Throughout the week we will have visits from special guests including college coaches, pro players and equipment manufacturers reps with prizes.  On Friday, starting at 12:00,  the camp will end with scrimmages in the afternoon that the parents are encouraged to attend.   Remember, camp pick-up on Friday is at 1:00.

Thanks again for choosing Quick Stix!  We look forward to seeing you in August!
