About Programs

Little Stars:  $90 Ages 4-6 years old (at time of camp)  9am-11am
The Little Stars program is designed to entertain the younger soccer player.  Daily activities are filled with soccer specific games and activities to instill fun and passion for the game of soccer. Many of these games can be learned and played with parents at home.

Half Day:  $135 Ages 6-13 years old (at time of camp)  9am-12noon
The Half Day program is recommended for beginner soccer players and players who may not be ready for multiple training sessions per day.  Each group is divided by age and ability to ensure the best learning environment for all campers.  This program is designed to teach technique, small tactical situations, and continued appreciation for the game of soccer.

Full Day:  $195 Ages 7-13 years old (at time of camp)  9am-3pm
Full day campers have the same schedule as the half day campers in the morning, but are expected to have that extra enthusiasm for soccer to keep them motivated for the additional afternoon tactical training and tournament games. Some additional fun activities are also thrown in to keep the energy up!

All Indiana Soccer Day Camp programs are available for boys and girls!

If my child has never played soccer will he/she fit in at camp?

Absolutely. Many of the campers are beginners once they enter this camp. This camp is designed for all skill levels. We encourage your child to bring a friend that has not yet been introduced to this exciting sport to help spread the passion for soccer in schools around Bloomington.

If my child is a very advanced player can he/she play up an age group?

If your son is excelling in his/her camp group, the staff coach and camp director will make a decision whether or not your son would benefit by moving to an older age group.

What will you do in case of inclement weather?

Grandview Elementary has given Indiana Day Camp tremendous help by allowing our camp to use their facilities. During times of inclement weather we will have access to the gymnasium for short periods to continue teaching camp skills as well as the lunch room and auditorium for soccer films and trivia. Please remind your child bring indoor shoes with him/her each day to camp. Camp will be canceled only when Karst Park determines fields completely unplayable due to consistent wet conditions. Refunds cannot be given for any partial cancellations due to weather, as the camp expenses do not change (leasing fields, equipment, staff salaries all stay the same regardless). In the last ten years, only 1.5 days of camp total have been canceled. We do everything we can do to stay on schedule, but must respect the field maintenance and school custodial decisions.

If I am running late to pick up my child will a staff member stay until I arrive?

Please make every effort to be on time as Grandview custodial staff members close the building each day promptly at 3pm. However, a camp director will always stay in the parking lot after camp until every camper has been picked up.

Does my child need to bring a water bottle to camp?

Yes, each child should bring a water bottle. It is recommended that Full Day campers bring a larger water jug. There are water coolers available for refilling jugs.

Does the camp have a lost and found?

Yes. We will keep a lost and found box close to concessions throughout the day. Please double check your child every day upon picking him/her up to make sure they have their cleats, shoes, shin guards, lunch box, and water bottle as lost and found items add up quickly.

What is the Day Camp cancellation policy?

Those who cannot attend Day Camp for medical or other reasons will be refunded all but a $25 processing and handling fee. Cancellations may be made until 8:00 am on the first day of camp. All cancellations must be completed in writing by email to info@indianasoccercamp.com.
