What are the best camps as far as recruiting exposure?

[georgetownlax3]

What are the best camps to get noticed and in contact with schools? Preferably camps that are D1 or showcase.

[AugustaLax42]

Top 205 is overall the best recruiting camp in the country. All of the top high schools from every lacrosse hotbed are represented.

There's lots of information on this board, but here's my summary. In no particular order, from one of the scouting organizations (that charges a fee to promote you to schools):

Top 205
Top Star
Top 105
Texas Top 99
NE Elite 180
Champ Camp
US Lacrosse Sponsored Events
Peak 200
Blue Chip 225
STX (now Brine) Shoot Out
Champ Camp
Summer Sizzle
Battle of the Hotbeds
Midwest 99
Nike Blue Chip (aka Jake Reed)
New England Premier
Chicago Machine Combine
Empire State Games

I would also add Tristate, Summer Shootout (Broadneck HS I believe), UVA team camp, Underarmour and Adidas All star events and some of the fall events, like Diamond Showcase and Ultimate Performance (at Broadneck HS). Some of these are invite only, some are team only, and some anyone can go to if they meet the deadline.

Well considering he dosent live in NY he cant do that.....but if there is certain schools that you have an interest in go to their camps because there you will be working with that schools coaches and players and thats a good way to get exposure for that single school, plus often times there are other college coaches and players there so thats obviously a plus but other than that all the ones the kid above listed

how do you get into a camp like top205?

[lacrosseman192]

Its obviously too late for this year but if your going to be a junior next year your coach can send something in and reccommend you for the top 205 rising senior camp
