[quote=Mdmom22][quote=NoYou]The camp that sucks one week is killer the next. 
The camp that has some friends in it is great, the camp with random kids from another team is awful.
The camp with this coach is atrocious and the camp with that one is amazing.

Basically--it's really too hard to say "this camp is great". You'll find much better luck finding a camp with something like "all of our friends are there" or "our team is there" or "we really like this coach" than a specific camp brand name.

I also agree with this. Your kids experience is going to vary a lot on their situation and what they (or parents) want/expect out of it.  To add to what I shared above, my kids have not gone to any camps where they had friends either from their team or from school or with a coach they knew before.  But soccer has always been very separate from their social and school life. None of their close friends from school or in the neighborhood play at their level. And their teammates don’t do summer camps.  That said, none of my kids have given me any feedback abt negative interactions from other kids at the camps they’ve been at. I imagine part of it is that my B player has good social skills while my A player is good and clearly plays at a higher level than his age group.  As I mentioned above, the easiest observation that my kids can make is the skill level of the camp participants.  And for me, I like the exposure to other players and coaching, I think it helps them to learn to quickly play well with different players and situations. So that’s kind of what I would look for mostly these days for soccer camps. Hope that helps![/quote]
