Community Youth Camps

Our Community Youth Camps, for kids ages 5-13, offer a fun and safe environment for players of all ability levels (beginner to advanced) to improve their soccer skills and build a love for the game. Campers will participate in training sessions and scrimmages, as well as off-field activities such as scavenger hunts, ice breaker games and more!

Camp is directed by Kelsey Ferguson (US Soccer A license coach, and former Cornell Women’s Soccer Assistant), and staffed by current Cornell Soccer Head Coach, Assistant Coaches and players, who are motivated by a desire to inspire and develop youth players.
