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.

At our soccer sessions, kids work on dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control through fun drills and small-sided games where every player gets plenty 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.
Throughout the day, campers dig into themed exploration activities. 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. Each week brings a different theme — World Cup, Art Fun Factory, Cartoon Characters, and more. Every day is different. They go home with a finished project and a story to tell.

Our camp combines three things kids love: soccer, art, and exploration. Every day includes soccer training, a themed adventure, and an art project inspired by what they discovered. 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.
