CAMP INFO

Goals of Camp: At Beestera Camps we pride ourselves on the holistic development of each camper. Campers will be challenged physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially in order to give them the most authentic experience possible.

• Physical: Campers will become more competent and consistent in their technical soccer skills in areas such as dribbling, passing, and shooting by the end of the week.
• Cognitive: Campers will become more “soccer literate” and be able to interpret various tactical situations in-game settings more efficiently.
• Emotional: Campers will learn and demonstrate multiple ways to control their emotions while showing qualities such as resilience and perseverance in all activities which will result in higher self-esteem and self-confidence. A Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) will be on-site for one day to help campers create positive belief systems, introduce relaxation techniques, and maximize peak performance through a variety of tools and exercises.
• Social: Campers will learn to respectfully communicate with others while accepting their culture and individual differences through the use of our sport education curriculum model.
