Campers are accommodated on campus within walking distance of all sports facilities and ocean beaches. We invite kids from 8 - 18 years of age who enjoy playing soccer and who want to improve their skills, meet friends from different countries and have FUN. Our experienced International staff oversees campers and creates a great atmosphere of friendship and relaxation.

Mission and Values.
At the International Soccer Camp 2019, youngsters will experience four key elements that are at the heart of our coaching philosophy. Carefully blended together, these elements help develop the truly exceptional soccer player. The camp's daily schedule mixes fun with a rigorous soccer training program. Unlike most summer soccer camps, players experience a full seven day program.
The International Soccer Camp Goalkeeping Program will guide you in the mastery of your basic skills while bringing your entire game to a higher level.
We will emphasize technical skills, tactical understanding, physical conditioning, and psychological readiness.

This year the camp will be hosted at California State University Channel Island, and at University of California Santa Barbara.
