posted 01/17/2012 For 8 years Lorne Smith has been supporting the Lincoln Lacrosse program, running several team camps for us in the early days, providing Warrior and Brine product for Lincoln High School and Youth programs, and continuing to provide a great summer camp experience for our players at his Univeristy of Oregon camp. If you are looking for a skills camp for summer 2012, this is a great one. Whether you can make this camp or not, you should all read his Code of Conduct at the end of this note.
Read it, Own it, Live it.
CAMP DATES
July 9-13: University of Oregon Session I, Eugene OR
July 24-28: University of Oregon Session II, Eugene OR
*Please note that High School players (including incoming 2012 Freshmen) should focus on the first session as the second session conflicts with our Summer Team Camp.
GET BETTER….HAVE A BLAST!
We have a patented formula to make sure players learn while having a great time, which includes 6 game session, 5 instructions sessions, and a ‘Campionship’ in each division for healthy and fun competition. Other highlights include the D1 All-Star game, fastest shot competitions, and the talent show. The best place to learn about the LSL experience is online at

CODE OF CONDUCT
There is more to this sport than what happens between the lines. It is about being part of a larger community and carrying yourself appropriately - working hard on and off the field. These five pillars are behind everything we do at LSL, and we ask that you share them with your camper before they attend an LSL event.
HONOR
Never lie, steal, or cheat and do not tolerate those who do. Set a good example and encourage others to follow you. Remember that honor is very precious, and once lost, it takes a long time to earn back.
INTEGRITY
Be the same person at all times and adhere to your values regardless of the situation. Always be someone you are proud of.
RESPECT
Be respectful of others and yourself. Always be a gentleman and treat others with kindness and civility. Remember the golden rule — treat others as you would wish to be treated. Remember that words can be uplifting and healing or very hurtful. Act with empathy.
HUMILITY
Remember that you are part of a community and that your accomplishments are based on the support of others. A confident, complete and whole person eschews his own glory for the sake of others. This same humility applies to the athletic arena and the way you conduct yourself as a player and a fan.
EXCELLENCE
Strive for excellence in all that you do — academics, arts, athletics, and character. Do not settle for less than your best effort. If you put forward your best effort, no one can ask for more.
