Welcome to Chisholm Adventure & Soccer Summer Camp, an exciting and energetic summer experience for curious, active young players who love to move, play, and connect! Since 2015, Chisholm Elementary has been home to DC Way’s very first Summer Camp. This year, it returns with a fresh energy and a theme that celebrates creativity, community, and soccer adventures. Our camp is more than just a drop-off; it’s a local experience designed for families who want their children to be active, engaged, and excited every single day.
At Adventure & Soccer Camp, every day is a new journey. Young athletes explore the joy of soccer, build friendships, and discover confidence through imaginative games, team challenges, and structured play – all in a safe, welcoming environment right in the heart of Capitol Hill!
We offer same-day drop-off and registration for our camp!
