My child is too old for the MicroStar program, can he/she still attend a half day? Our MicroStar program is designed specifically for the development of players in Kindergarten and 1st grade and unfortunately we cannot allow older players to participate.
My MicroStar is a great player and wants to stay all day, can he/she? While we realize each player is at a different stage of their soccer development, we cannot make allowances for the MicroStar aged player to stay all day.
Does my child need soccer shoes to attend camp? We encourage all players to wear soccer shoes for their safety and the safety of other players. If your child’s soccer shoes are brand new, we would also encourage campers to bring gym shoes or a pair of soccer shoes that are broken in to avoid blisters.

Saturday is family day from 9am until about 2pm. Family and friends are invited to watch the campers compete in individual skill competitions and the mini world cup soccer tournament. The tournament will conclude around noon followed by a picnic lunch* and camp awards ceremony. *Lunch may be provided by our church partner – see your specific camp location page for more information.
Is water provided? Yes, water jugs will be available. Campers should bring a water bottle clearly marked with their name so they can re-fill it throughout the camp day.
What about medications or injuries? A staff member or camp nurse will be on-site to manage all first aid related issues. For injuries that appear serious, paramedics will be called.
Are scholarships available? Scholarships are usually available through our church partners, please contact your camp coordinator for scholarship information.
What happens if it rains? If the rain is light and there is no thunder or lightning, we will play. If the weather is severe and looks like it will pass, we will seek shelter and wait until the weather clears. If severe weather persists, we may need to delay the start of camp, end early or cancel camp.
