D3 College Soccer ID Camps in California (2026)

Division III camps in California are about academic fit first, athletic fit second. D3 schools cannot offer athletic scholarships, but the academic and merit-based aid at strong D3 programs often makes total cost more affordable than a partial D1 ride. ID camps are smaller, more relational, and often more useful for evaluation than D1 showcases.

We track 13 active Division III college soccer ID camps in California for 2026. Each listing shows real dates, cost, location, and — where families have shared their experience — honest reviews about whether the camp delivered real recruiting value.

Fit context: D3 recruiting timelines extend the latest — some programs are still building classes through senior summer. A strong fit between coach, school, and athlete matters more here than at any other level.
