From Board Member Mark Fader:

For the 8th year, we are holding the Williams Summer Sticks Lacrosse Camp for boys and girls ages 8-15.  Traditionally, we've had lots of Ticks players come for this camp because of great coaching and lots of fun. Purposely, the camp is at night so parents can come watch and for those interested, get some great coaching tips and advice.  My good friend Rick McCarthy, a coach at Wesleyan and member of the CT Chapter of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame (for coaching), will once again work with me.   What makes camp fun and relevant is that I have Ticks alumni who are now playing at a high level in college who come work my camp.  This year, Jake Turkowski (from Old Lyme) who is a freshman middie for Wesleyan and Nate Roy (from Essex) a sophomore goalie for Conn College will represent the Ticks and work with our younger players.  Additionally, Cathy Carter, a coach here at Williams, will run the Girls Camp.  At one time, she ran the entire girls Ticks program and was a Board member.
