Your child will spend the summer playing soccer, creating art, and discovering the world around them. Every day has a theme, a new adventure, and something to make and take home.
Soccer, Art & Explore is DC Way’s most unique camp. Kids play soccer, explore something new, then create art inspired by what they discovered. It’s movement, creativity, and exploration mixed together.

Every morning starts with soccer on Stuart-Hobson’s beautiful turf fields. Kids work on dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control through fun drills and small-sided games where everyone gets lots of touches.
We connect soccer to the day’s exploration theme whenever we can. The focus is on having fun, improving skills, and playing together.
Whether your child is new to soccer or already loves the game, they’ll spend every day moving, laughing, and scoring goals.
Every day at Soccer, Art & Explore Camp has a theme. Kids don’t just hear about it, they dig into it, question it, and make something out of it.
After soccer, the day shifts into exploration mode. Each theme brings a new challenge, a new way of looking at the world, and a new set of questions to answer together. Groups stay small so every kid stays engaged and nothing gets missed.
Then comes the art room. Whatever they explored that day becomes something they create. They go home with a finished project and a story to tell.

Each week has a different focus, so there’s always something new to find, make, and explore. No two days look exactly the same.
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.

Your child will improve their soccer skills, explore creativity through art, and develop a natural curiosity about the world around them. They’ll build confidence, make new friends, and stay active and engaged all day. Plus they’ll come home tired. In a good way.
