The University of Maine at Fort Kent Athletic Department will host two action-packed Bengal Overnight Soccer Camps this summer. The first camp will run from Sunday, June 22, through Thursday, June 26, and the second from Sunday, July 27, through Thursday, July 31. Registration is open to all students entering grades six through twelve.
The cost is $595 per camper. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration for either the June or July session. Campers will stay in the UMFK residence halls and spend their days training on the UMFK Michael Simon Soccer Field.
The goal of the soccer camp is to develop and improve each player’s skills in a fun and supportive learning environment. Sessions will accommodate all skill levels, offering a full week of focused and enjoyable training.
UMFK coaching staff and players will teach individual techniques, ball mastery, 1v1 attacking and defending, and team concepts. Training will include rondos, small-sided games, and full scrimmages to build vision, quick decision-making, and positional understanding.
Additional activities will include yoga for recovery, strength and flexibility training, nutrition and hydration education, game film analysis, and a session on how to create a college recruitment video for participants aged 14 and older.
The summer camps continue to be popular with both local residents and visitors who spend their summers in the St. John Valley.
To reserve a spot, register online at the UMFK Athletics website.
