St. Joseph's College on Sebago Lake — A Setting Like No Other
St. Joseph's College of Maine sits directly on Sebago Lake in Standish — Maine's second-largest lake and one of the most iconic summer destinations in the state.

Why This Is the Best Lacrosse Camp in Maine
Maine has very few elite lacrosse development programs — and even fewer with the backing of a multi-state club organization. 4 Leaf is the only summer lacrosse day camp in Maine run by a program that also fields year-round elite travel teams in the state. That means your child is being coached by people who develop the best youth lacrosse players in Northern New England all year long — not seasonal instructors hired for the summer.
- Coaching staff from 4 Leaf's Maine and NH travel program teams
- College-quality campus fields at St. Joseph's College
- Sebago Lake swim access — a genuine summer camp experience, not just lacrosse
- Accessible from Portland, Lewiston/Auburn, and surrounding communities without leaving Maine
- Open to all skill levels — no prior club experience required
- Nonprofit organization — fees support the 4 Leaf mission across the region
