The camp is directed by Chris Swanenburg, a former All-Ivy goaltender and 1990 graduate of Yale University. Coach Swanenburg has over 35 years of coaching experience, with 20 of those served at the college level. In addition to being the all-time winningest coach at Division I Radford University, Swanenburg started the program at Christopher Newport University. Overall, he has 15 years of head coaching experience at the Division I and III levels. He is widely regarded as one of the top teachers in the sport and has helped produce college All-Americans and professional lacrosse players alike. Over the years, thousands of campers have learned the game and honed their skills under Coach Swanenburg.

Tony LePore enters his seventeenth season with the Commonwealth Lacrosse Camp and serves as an assistant camp director. The Peach Belt Conference Coach of The Year in 2023, Lepore presently serves as the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Division II Lander University, a program he started in 2018. Prior to Lander, he was the Associate Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Belmont Abbey College. LePore has also coached at Marymount University and was the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Northern Virginia Community College.

Assisting Coaches Swanenburg and LePore are some of the more accomplished adult coaches in the sport, many of whom have both college and high school coaching experience. Their professional, veteran guidance ensures that campers will learn the drills and skills necessary to succeed at both the high school and college levels. Furthermore, each camper will see improvement in his own game and gain a better understanding of the sport of lacrosse.

A typical camp day consists of three sessions, all of which are conducted on Virginia Tech's recently constructed lighted turf fields. Mornings are largely reserved for individual development by position, afternoons are for the teaching of team concepts, and evenings are filled with competition that concludes under the lights.

The camp also features plenty of fun away from the practice fields. All campers will be housed in air-conditioned, suite-style rooms with private bathrooms and Internet access. They will also enjoy all-you-care-to-eat meals in Virginia Tech's nationally acclaimed and award-winning D2 dining center. Finally, during their free time, campers have access to the Virginia Tech campus and its amenities.
