Residential Camp

Rockhurst Residential/Commuter Camp June 8th to June 12th

As always this camp promises to be one of our biggest camps of the year. We are anticipating 200+ campers. Participants may register as day campers or residents.

Emphasis is placed on character development, leadership and camaraderie as well as soccer skill/tactical development. The camp provides the players with top quality coaching from coaches who have worked this camp for many years. The camp is also seen as the ideal preparation for the up-coming try-out season.

This camp will sell out. We recommend that you REGISTER before the end of March to ensure a spot in this camp.
