Coed Camp for 5-13 year-olds (kids entering Kindergarten through 8th grade in Fall of 2026)
Needham Week 1 - August 17-21
Needham Week 2 - August 24-28
Solomon Schechter Day School Turf Field, Valeo Indoor Center (Newton, MA) and the Rashi School (Dedham, MA) are confirmed.
We are very excited to continue our highly recommended coed camp for children ages 5 through 13 (entering grades K-8 in Fall 2026). This is a fun-filled camp for players of all ages and abilities! Although we are a soccer specific camp, this camp is designed to be fun regardless of talent or ability. Players engage in drills intended to improve skills, creative games for team building, and small sided matches to improve tactics.
As always, families can opt to do a full day or a half day (ending around Noon) no matter their age. AM half days are usually a better option for our K-1 kiddos - but we are able to accept for full days for those kids ready for it! Morning half days are available for the older kids too, although most kids are asking to stay for full days by the end of the week!
We are happy to have the luxury of the indoor soccer facilities in Newton and gym space at Rashi in the event of extreme inclement weather or to beat the heat.
We have been sold out every year the last 9 years, including in 2020 when we safely ran camp amid the pandemic following all safety guidelines. The second location allows us to essentially run two smaller more personalized camps within our one system, allowing a larger capacity without losing what makes out camp so great - attention to care and detail! Each location has one of our regular, experienced directors, plus lots of returning staff, all overseen by Coach O.

Location Information:
Please note that Solomon Schechter Day School has two locations in Newton, MA. Our camp takes place at the upper school on Wells Avenue in Newton. They have a beautiful outdoor turf field plus access to an indoor turf field and hard surface court. We have been holding camps here since 1999 when John Kerr first started KerrCamp.
Address: Solomon Schechter Upper School is located at 125 Wells Ave in Newton, next to Valeo Indoor Soccer Center.
Rashi has a beautiful grass field complex and access to indoor space that will provide safe haven during inclement weather. It is located 10 minutes away from our Schechter/Valeo location. Start times are staggered to support families who will need to drop off and pick up at both locations.
Address: Rashi School is located at 8000 Great Meadow Road in Dedham. It is part of a private community network so please drive carefully in the neighborhood.
