Encinitas [Community Park] Summer Camp (8/4 - 8/8)

Our Summer Soccer Camp offers a fun and structured environment where kids can develop their soccer skills, stay active, and make new friends! Each day, we’ll focus on two individual skills, engage in team activities, and highlight essential character traits like respect, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

We’re offering two separate camps tailored to different age groups:

🔹 Classic Camp (Ages 3-5 | Pre-K)
Designed for our youngest players, this camp uses creative and imaginative games to teach fundamental soccer skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting—all while having fun! Each session also introduces a positive character trait, helping kids build confidence both on and off the field.

🔹 Premier Camp (Ages 5-10 | K-2nd)
For our older players, this camp focuses on individual skill development, fitness, and sportsmanship. Through fun games and team interactions, children will be introduced to competition in a developmentally appropriate way while continuing to improve their soccer abilities.

With half-day (3-hour) and full-day (6-hour) options available, this camp is the perfect way to keep kids active, engaged, and learning throughout the summer! ☀️⚽🎉

1. What should my child bring to camp?
Campers should bring a water bottle, a nut-free snack (for half-day campers), and a packed lunch (for full-day campers). We also recommend sunscreen, comfortable athletic clothing, shin guards, and soccer cleats or athletic shoes.

2. What is the difference between the half-day and full-day camp?
The half-day camp runs for 3 hours and focuses on skill-building activities, small-sided games, and teamwork exercises. The full-day camp extends to 6 hours, including additional gameplay, team challenges, and fun off-field activities to keep kids engaged throughout the day.

3. Will my child be grouped with others their age?
Yes! We divide campers into age-appropriate groups to ensure they are playing and learning with peers at a similar skill level. Our Classic Camp is for ages 4-6 (Pre-K), and our Premier Camp is for ages 6-10 (K-2nd).

4. What happens if my child has never played soccer before?
No problem! Our camp is designed for players of all skill levels. Our experienced coaches focus on fun and development, ensuring that beginners learn the fundamentals while more experienced players continue to grow their skills.

5. Who are the coaches leading the camp?
Our camps are led by trained and experienced Soccer Shots coaches who are passionate about working with kids. All coaches undergo background checks and receive specialized training to create a fun, safe, and positive learning environment.

6. What happens in case of bad weather?
We monitor weather conditions closely. In the case of extreme heat or rain, we may modify activities, take extra hydration breaks, or move to a covered area if available. Parents will be notified of any schedule changes or cancellations due to severe weather.

Let us know if you have any other questions—we can’t wait to see your child on the field this summer! ⚽☀️
