VOLUNTEER AT CAMP

Do you love Jesus, kids, or soccer? Join us for three mornings of fun and ministry! Whether you know the game or just love to encourage kids, we need you. Sign up to help kids learn about soccer and the love of God in a safe, energetic, and welcoming environment!

Every Child Belongs.

We believe every child has purpose, value, and a place—on the field and in God’s family.

Each morning from 8:30–9:00 a.m., we'll offer a quieter, inclusive pre-camp session designed for kids with disabilities, sensory needs, or anyone who might benefit from a gentler start to the day. 

With tailored activities, trained volunteers, and supportive tools like visual schedules, noise-reducing headphones, and quiet spaces, we’re creating a space where every child knows they belong. 

Some kids may stay for the full camp. Others may decide to leave at the end of the pre camp session. That's okay. What matters most is that all kids feel welcomed and know that they belong on the field!
