Camp Philosophy

The Foundation Soccer Academy is dedicated to teaching players that there is nothing wrong with being creative or using one’s imagination on the soccer field. We offer an environment with structure and an emphasis on perfecting the skills of the game and the expression of those skills that make a difference in the outcome of games. Our approach to coaching youth players is unique in that it is designed to develop individual skills through innovative and challenging sessions. We try to create a stress-free learning experience, encouraging our players to reach maximum potenital.

We put the 'CAMP' back in soccer camp; our campers enjoy soccer training in a true camp environment. Cook-outs, Talent show, Camp outs, Movie nights, Game Show nights, and don't forget the bon-fire and s'mores night! This is a week campers won't forget!

The Evenings are for the Campers:

Are you ready for fun? Your days will be full of training, fitness stations and learning workshops. There will also be guest speakers and don't worry, you'll have some free time. The nights at Camp Pontiac, however, is really where it's at. Here's a sample of evening activities we'll be bringing to you:

• DJ parties
• Air-Conditioned Movie Theater playing newly released movies
• Mr. Foundation Contest
• Camp Skit Show
• Video Game Room
• Or... maybe lay-low with some Burgers/Dogs and Ice Cream in the Lounge while watching the Yankees & Mets on TV each night.

Optional Workshops at Sleepaway Camp:

• Leadership Academy

  Do you have what it takes to be the captain of your team? Campers in this program will learn what it takes to be a leader by developing effective communication skills and learning important steps involved in the decision making process. They will also conquer the “Ropes Course” while learning the value of teamwork through High Adventure activities. Campers who complete the course will earn a Certificate of Achievement that will qualify as community service. (A $25.00 fee applies.)

• Sports Medicine Internship

  Foundation XC Camp will be running a Sports Medicine Internship Program for students entering grades 9-12. The campers will gain insight into the field of sports medicine and athletic training along with many others careers in the Health Care Industry. Campers enrolled in this introductory program will get hands-on experience on prevention, recognition, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The group will meet every day for 1 hour, as well as assist the training staff before and after runs. Campers who complete the course will earn a Certificate of Achievement. (A $25.00 fee applies.)

Color War:

• Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink or Orange?

  Color war has quickly become tradition at Foundation Sleepaway Camp. Check the website the last week before camp starts to see what team you are are, then PACK THAT COLOR IN YOUR BAG and be ready for an afternoon of fun. Click the Videos tab and watch the camp videos to see the excitement!
