"The coaching I received and the atmosphere you provided was great. The informational session that you hosted gave me a great insight to what I want for my college experience & soccer program"-Greg *For Boys Only* The goals of our camp are really quite simple. We want each of our students to learn new skills and improve those they already have, to learn how to train themselves on their own after they leave camp, and to learn how to make the best of their newly found skills with every team on which they play. We have developed an outstanding curriculum and hired and trained the best staff possible to clearly present it. Combine this with great competition and you get results not possible anywhere else. |

More Information | |||||||||||||
Please have your son bring a check made out to Duke Soccer Camp for $125 for the key deposit. When they return the key at the end they will get the check back. We have a camp store available in the main dorms. We sell popcorn, ice cream, candy, snacks, pizza, Typical amount each kid uses is between $50 and $100. |

Transportation | |||||||||||||
Your son will need to take an Uber or a taxi to the campus upon arrival. Below is some helpful information about taxis. As we get closer to camp dates I will post the address on the website on where the taxi/uber service will need to bring and pick up the boys. Because taxis are limited in Durham, you need to CALL by telephone ahead of time to arrange your travel. Typically a meter, starting with an initial fee of $3.60 and then $2.00 per mile after that, calculates the taxi fare. Airport taxis/shuttles generally charge a set fare from Durham to the airport, around $40 one-way from an off-campus apartment. Nowadays almost all companies accept major credit cards. Whenever you use a taxi or shuttle, you tip the driver 10-15% of the cost of the fare. We also recommend taking a taxi with a friend so you can split the fare. |

Cancellation Policy | |||||||||||||
The $75 registration fee is non-refundable. After that, if you cancel 21 days prior to the start of camp you will get 100% refund after the $75 fee.
No refunds on the day camp starts. |
