Gustie Soccer High School Girls Camp

Our HS Girls Soccer camp is a three-day, two-night experience, where our primary focus is running high quality training sessions where our campers will be able to learn from our exceptional staff. Additionally, after construction on campus moved us into Air Conditioned dorms in summer 2024, we have decided to continue this route in 2025. Having an airconditioned space to come back to between session to recover and to sleep in, enhanced the experience for our campers and we are committed to this experience moving forward. This means there is an increase in price for the air conditioning!

What makes the Gustavus High School Girls Soccer Camp different from other camps?

1. Each year we expose our campers to new training methodologies that most have never experienced. This year, our directors are taking what they learned in an exclusive series with coaches from the Barcelona Development Academy and implementing it into our camp training.
2. There are no other NCAA Division III Institution in Southern Minnesota that is putting such focus and resources behind the development of high school girls soccer players. 
3. College coaches can watch you play for a game or two and provide basic feedback based on your performance, but there is so much more to playing at the collegiate level.  The Gustavus Soccer Camp experience provides campers the opportunity to:
   • Be personally exposed to a high level of play in drills, small-sided and full field scrimmages
   • Increase visibility to collegiate coaches from across the state and take home individual evaluations that can be sent to collegiate coaches during the recruiting process
   • Showcase their ability in a variety of activities/environments: technical training, passing patterns, possession drills, position specific training, small-sided games and full field scrimmages (11v11).
   • Train with different players from a range of states and teams in addition to being coached by, and receive feedback from, different coaches and counselors each day
   • Build relationships with collegiate players who are passionate about youth player development
4. Allow campers to be immersed into a residential collegiate soccer experience with fellow campers from across the Midwest who possess similar interests and aspirations of elevating their game to the next level
