Cal Men's Soccer Collegiate Experience Overnight Camp

Cal Men's Soccer Collegiate Experience Overnight Camp is a three-day ID camp hosted by UC Berkeley from June 20–22, 2026. The camp is overnight, with participants staying on campus at Clark Kerr Dorms while training with the Cal coaching staff. This format gives recruits extended exposure to the program's daily rhythm and culture beyond a typical day-camp session. The camp is open to male high school soccer players interested in Division I soccer.

This camp is designed for serious male recruits exploring a top-tier D1 program. UC Berkeley competes in the ACC, one of the nation's most competitive conferences, and attracts committed college players. The overnight format and on-campus residency suggest the program is looking to build relationships with prospects who have realistic D1 aspirations and are ready to compete at a high level. No age or graduation-year bounds are listed, so prospective campers should contact the program directly to confirm which grades or classes it targets. Athletes should understand that competition for coaching attention and roster consideration will be intense at a program of this caliber.

Recruits should know that the head coach will not be present at this camp—coaching staff will run sessions, but not the program's top decision-maker. The overnight residential setup does offer more informal interaction with the coaching staff than a single-day clinic would, and campers will experience the training environment and facilities firsthand. Because cost details are not published, families should request pricing before committing. No prior reviews are available, so you won't have peer feedback on the experience yet. Go in prepared to train hard and take detailed notes on the campus, facilities, and coaching style to assess fit.

This camp works best for Class of 2027 and 2028 recruits (or older) who are already competing at a high club or high school level and serious about pursuing D1 soccer. If you're an early-stage prospect (freshman or sophomore) doing exploratory camps, or if you're looking for a more accessible entry point to college recruiting, a smaller D3 or mid-level D1 camp may be a better first step. For families ready to invest time and money in a top ACC program, register early once dates are confirmed and get details on cost and age eligibility directly from the program.
