What Makes the ISC Camp Special?

Qualified Coaches that are dedicated to teaching and making the camp fun! We have our most qualified ISC coaches work at the camp and we also bring in expert coaches from across Iowa and the Midwest. Our Director of Coaching, Jon Cook, has refined the camp curriculum over the past 26 years to ensure that the activities  are age appropriate and engaging for all levels of youth players.   Our camp is highly organized and all coaches have a clear idea what the teaching goals are for each day at camp.  Most importantly though, we strive to make sure that kids have fun while learning!

Additional Camp Opportunities

Early Bird Skills Training – Optional Training With Jon Cook

6:30 AM to 7:30 AM – Recommended for players with experience in competitive soccer!

• “Early Bird Skills” is one hour of intense skills training offered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday morning. It includes specialized individual ball skill training along with a strong focus on technique training, which are the building blocks for successful soccer development.
• Your child must be at least 8 years old to participate and it is mix of all ages training together.
• ISC does not recommend this program for your child if it is their first year at the ISC Camp, and this is not a “drop off early” service for working parents.
• If you come to “early bird” on the first day, you will need to bring your own ball, because we won’t have the camp balls ready to distribute that early in the day.
• No separate sign up is needed for the “Early Bird,” nor is there an extra fee to participate. Players  should attend on the days that they feel like participating.

Rain Out Refund Policy

If 2 camp days or more are rained out, a partial refund will be sent to the families.  A refund will not be distributed if only one day is rained out. We do not issue refunds if you register and then pull your child out of camp.
