Carthage Soccer Camp Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I get there?
Carthage College is located in Kenosha, Wis. at 2001, Alford Park Drive. Directions to campus can be found on the Visiting Carthage page.

For information on how to get to the off-campus locations, please see camp directions.

Where can I find training schedules, game schedules and other important forms?
Please visit the forms and letters page.

What is the late fee and date?
Camp fills up each year, so don't delay sending in your registration. Your entire balance is due before June 10. (New this year, we are asking families to have all paperwork and fees turned in by June 10 in order to expedite the registration and check-in process.) After June 10, there will be a late fee of $25. Further details will be sent to you by mail upon registration.

Are there only two campers per room?
Yes, but we house all campers near each other if they are specific in their "reside near" field on application. And apply ahead of time.

Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, credit card payments are accepted online, but only at the time of application. Payment can also be made by check. Checks should be made payable to Carthage Soccer and mailed to Steve Domin, Carthage Soccer Office, 2001 Alford Park Drive, Kenosha, 53140. You must pay at least your deposit at the time of application to hold your space. The balance is due on/or before June 10.

Is checking in and checking out at other times OK?
Yes, but is not encouraged. However, for special events, we do check in folks ad hoc. Send an email to sdomin@carthage.edu.

Is my child allowed to check out of camp for special events, Olympic Development Program, games, etc.?
Yes, but you must follow specific guidelines outlined at orientations and with staff.

Do commuters have a place to hang out in lounges in between sessions?
Yes, and they have the option to leave campus right after games, or at lights out (10:30 p.m.). At the camp store, campers are also allowed to leave personal items of value, or private gear.

Do campers need gym shoes?
Yes, campers need to bring indoor and outdoor shoes, as well as a ball with air and shin guards. A list of items to bring is on-line, as well as a dorm lay-out: http://www.carthage.edu/soccer/camp/facts/.

Are team discounts available?
Yes, with a group of more than 12, $10 off tuition (each person). Teams are encouraged to sign up together. It is generally helpful to get them all at once via U.S. Mail.

Is there a closing ceremony?
Yes. At the end of camp there is a Camper Recognition Ceremony. In good weather it is located on campus drive following check-outs/last sessions.  At this ceremony, players receive their evaluations, testing (residential players) forms, as well as special recognition.

Can I watch?
Yes, camp is open for all spectators.  On the forms section, you can find schedules, and directions of all sessions (training and games).  It is IMPORTANT that your camper know his or her coach's name and group number.

Goalkeepers train separately in the mornings and are married into team groups/games in the afternoon. There is no extra fee for goal keeper sessions. GK sessions are available for Day Campers as well.
