Day Camp 2 (Older than 7)

This is UNC Wilmington's Day Camp 2, a five-day day clinic for male soccer players ages 8–12 running June 22–26, 2026, in Wilmington, North Carolina. The camp costs $289 to $420 and does not include overnight lodging.

This is a youth skills camp, not a college recruiting event. The age range (8–12 years old) places this squarely in recreational and early-development territory, well before high school and the window when college coaches begin formal evaluation. Families should understand going in that this camp is about soccer instruction and summer activity, not exposure to a Division 1 program's recruiting staff.

The head coach does not attend this camp, which reinforces that it functions as a summer clinic rather than a scouting opportunity. Participants should expect group instruction and scrimmages focused on technique and game awareness, typical of day-camp programming. No reviews are currently available for this specific session, so prospective families have limited peer feedback to guide expectations. The cost sits in the mid-range for youth day camps but is worth weighing against the five-day duration and whether your child benefits more from a local option or the specific coaching environment here.

This camp is best suited for families looking for a quality summer soccer experience and skill development for elementary-school-age players, not for families thinking about college recruitment. If your child is under 13 and simply wants good coaching and competitive play during the summer break, it may be worth considering. Families with older players pursuing college recruiting should focus their resources elsewhere.
