Camp for Kids

When school is closed, drop your camper with us for a full day of soccer, sports, crafts, inflatables and Battle Zone foam blasters, run by the same coaches you already know.

ABOUT OUR CAMPS

Fun on and off the field

A different sport every day

Soccer, flag football, kickball, dodgeball and more. The curriculum rotates each camp day, so a camper who comes to three days in a break does three different things.

Off-field time, on purpose

Arts and crafts, board games, inflatables and Battle Zone foam blaster games fill the gaps between field blocks. Campers who are not sporty still have a day they want to repeat.

Coaches you already know

Camp is run by the same trained Lil' Kickers coaches who lead our classes. They keep the day safe and structured while still making it feel like a day off.

GOOD TO KNOW

Camp questions

Who will be with my camper?

Our camp counsellors are trained Lil' Kickers and Skills Institute coaches, the same people who lead our weekly classes. Every one of them is interviewed and background checked before they set foot on the field, then works through on-field training, online learning modules and evaluations before leading a group.

They are trained to work with children from 18 months to 10 years, with an emphasis on child development, so a camp day is run by someone who understands what a four year old and a ten year old each need from it.

  • Background checked
  • On-field training
  • Learning modules
  • Evaluated before leading
What should my child wear and bring to camp?

Comfortable clothes and indoor soccer shoes or plain tennis shoes. No cleats. Full day campers should bring a lunch and a water bottle.

Do I need to stay onsite?

No. This is a drop-off camp. Check your camper in at the front desk and you are free to leave. We just ask that drop-off and pickup happen on time.

Can I drop off early or pick up late?

Early drop-off is available from 8:30am for $10 per camper per day. It is added on separately rather than during camp registration. There is no late pickup, so plan for a 12:00pm or 3:00pm collection.

Does my child need to be potty trained?

Yes. All campers must be potty trained.

What is Battle Zone?

Battle Zone is our foam blaster game. Campers play in teams on a field set up with barriers, using blasters and eye protection we provide. It is the same game we run at Battle Zone birthday parties. Personal blasters are not allowed at camp.

What happens if a camp day does not fill?

We reserve the right to cancel a camp day due to low enrollment, and we will tell you at least 7 days ahead. We will either find you an alternative camp day or issue a full refund.

What if my camper cannot make it?

We will credit your account for the day. Credits can go toward any future days off school camp, summer camp, class or birthday party. Email [email protected] to report a missed day and we will take care of it.
