I have never been part of the Mini Camp, but it looks to be something new for Sidwell this year...although it seems to be a branch off their Junior Explorers program which was awesome! My little one LOVED it! He was a Red Fish (3 - 3 1/2 year olds) and did not want to leave Ms. Jodie at the end of the summer. He did yoga, cooking, science and other things that made him feel like a grown up, as he said. His big brother was in the Explorer Day Camp so he thought it was pretty cool that they did some of the same things.
I have never had either of my campers do the soccer program during the summer, but my 7 year old participated in Sidwell's Winter Soccer Clinics with Coach Lester - the same man who runs their summer program from my understanding, and he loved it! Lester and his staff seem to really understand how to adapt drills to fit that 6-8 year old age range.
If you're on the fence I say definitely go for it!
