Every Friday your child comes home with a finished project, a story from the field, and probably a new best friend. Then Monday rolls around and it all starts again with a brand new theme.
That’s what a week at Art & Soccer Camp looks like. Ten times over.
Spots fill up fast. Register now.
Questions? Reach out anytime at contact@dcway.com or call (571) 490-1275. We’re looking forward to a great summer with your kids!
Every week brings a brand new theme. Kids play soccer on the field and spend time in the art room working on projects inspired by that week’s topic. Themes change every week, covering everything from famous artists and cartoon characters to space, animals, and more. Every day includes something to make and take home.
Ages 3-12, all skill levels welcome. For our youngest campers (ages 3-4), we ask that they be potty trained and able to follow basic instructions.

All DC Way coaches and teachers are background-checked, First Aid trained, and experienced working with children. Our soccer coaches are licensed and passionate about the game, while our art and activity teachers are talented professionals who know how to engage kids creatively. They all create a positive environment where every child feels supported. We’re proud of our team – they’re the reason families keep coming back.
Your child will improve their soccer skills, explore creativity through art, learn about different cultures, build confidence, and make friends. It’s active, educational, and fun – plus they go home tired (in a good way).
Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital
All players should bring a water bottle, shin guards, sneakers, cleats, a hat, sunblock, snacks, and lunch (for full-day campers). Players younger than 6 years should wear tennis or athletic shoes (cleats are not needed).
Each camper needs two pairs of shoes: one for indoor use and one for outdoor activities.
We recommend applying sunscreen and bug spray at home in the morning. Staff will help reapply sunscreen in the afternoon.
Please note: We are an electronics-free camp. Cell phones, tablets, and smart watches should be left at home.
