Tennessee Overnight Camp in the Appalachian Mountains
Campers immerse themselves in the scenic Appalachian mountains at Signature’s youth sports camp in Southeast Tennessee. We love Sewanee, Tennessee for its close proximity to Nashville (1 hour) & Chattanooga (45 minutes), while still capturing the remote feel of a true sleepaway camp. Sewanee offers waterfalls, hiking trails, swimming holes, and a small town community. We utilize two campuses: Sewanee College (Session I) and St. Andrew’s Sewanee Boarding School (Session II) for lacrosse camp.

Lacrosse Summer Camp for All Skill Levels
Signature Sports Camps blends together traditional summer sleepaway camp with sports camp. On the field, players learn from both Headlining Professional Coaches and our experienced Resident Coaches with collegiate playing backgrounds. Coaches are experts across each position (even specialty positions like goalie). We elevate each player’s game by splitting athletes into instructional groups based on gender, age, and skill level.

Fun Summer Camp Activities - Off the Field
At Signature Sports Camps, players elevate their game on the lacrosse field AND participate in traditional sleepaway camp activities that are unique to the region. Let’s explore a few of our favorite off-field activities that our Tennessee campers participate in:
Chase Waterfalls
We take campers to Foster Falls for an afternoon of hiking through the trails that lead to a beautiful waterfall! Splash around in different areas of the falls while exploring the Appalachian mountains.
Biking Adventure
Campers can sign up to bike the Sewanee Perimeter Trail to a lookout situated atop the Cumberland Plateau, which includes views of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
Swimming in the Waterhole
We jump into the Res, right on campus at our St. Andrew’s Sewanee campus each day. Campers love to cannonball off the jumping rock and swim to the floating dock, or grab a canoe for an adventure.
End of Camp BBQ
We end each camp session with an outside BBQ, campfire, and yard games. Campers love to hang out with their new friends and dive into watermelon and BBQ after a long day on the field.
Movie Night
The first night of camp brings a movie night in the auditorium, featuring a nostalgic funny sports movie that resonates with campers of every age.
Camp Kickball & Lacrosse Shark Tank
A staple of each Signature Sports Camp is the camp-wide kickball and Lacrosse Shark Tank evening activities. Coaches hop into the games and kick up the competition to make these activities ultra-competitive and fun.

Frequently Asked Camp Questions - And Answers!
This camp is capped at 100 campers per session before waitlisting campers. Typically registration fills up around April, so we recommend locking in your spot for the upcoming summer as soon as possible to avoid any issues!
Our first session in Tennessee is hosted at Sewanee College, while our second session in Tennessee is hosted at the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Boarding School. If your player opts to do both sessions, we bus your player over to the next campus on transition day. Not to worry, the campuses are less than 5 minutes away from each other. We send reminders via email with addresses for pick up and drop off.
Signature Sports Lacrosse Camps have planned programming for campers of all experience levels. If you are new to Lacrosse, our coaches will teach you the basics and progress you with your own group of similar players.
If you are an advanced player looking to be challenged- we also have the programming for you and will group you with similar players to your skill set.
Each of our coaches has collegiate playing experience and excels in their specific roles. Our player development model is tailored to foster growth in a camp environment, and our coaches collaborate with players during their orientation to create a curriculum that leverages their unique skill sets. Covering all positions, including specialized roles like goalie and face-off/draw, we ensure a comprehensive coaching approach. On the field, campers are grouped by both skill level and age, creating a competitive and developmental environment where similar skill sets elevate each other's play.

At registration, we record any dietary needs and collaborate with the campus dining staff to label all dishes clearly. We make sure there are suitable choices for campers with specific dietary requirements. To cater to diverse tastes, our dining team provides a variety of meal options. A standard dinner includes one or two full meal variations (each containing protein, vegetables, and grains) complemented by additional choices for pickier eaters, such as pizza, pasta, and chicken nuggets.
While phones are not restricted, we limit phone and technology use. Campers may keep their phones in their dorms and use them before bedtime. We advise against bringing phones to activities, meals, or sports sessions to fully immerse in the camp experience. For essential contact, such as Facetime calls home, counselors' phones are available. We’ve found that limiting phone access can help reduce feelings of homesickness.
