Advance Your Skills With Us
Avino Academy of Lacrosse was established in 2016 to give kids in the Camas/Washougal/Vancouver area a chance to learn and grow their lacrosse skills, as well as to learn sportsmanship, work ethic, and a sense of team pride. We don't just teach skills for the field, but try to instill values off the field as well.
