Charlottesville is easily accessed via interstate highway, and is conveniently located between three metropolitan areas: Washington DC (118 miles), Richmond (65 miles) and Roanoke (125 miles).
The Virginia Soccer Camp of Champions has a very experienced staff. Many of our coaches have worked the camp for multiple years. Each year, we conduct background checks on all coaches and staff member. The coach/camper ratio is approximately 1 coach to every 12 campers. Attendance is taken prior to each session and during daily suite meetings. The daily suite meetings provide an opportunity for our coaches and staff to closely monitor and interact with campers. Both staff coaches and counselors reside in the dormitories with campers. Campers are closely monitored and obligated to attend all sessions and meals.
Campers will dine at a University of Virginia dining facility. There are multiple food and drink selections at each meal.
