Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Christian mission of the Seahorses affect the way camp is run?
 
* Our staff takes care of your children in a God-honoring manner. We share stories and lessons from the Bible daily. Our coaches each share their personal testimonies of how God changed their lives. We seek excellence in all that we do as a way of honoring God.
 
What are the typical ages/skill levels at camp?
 
* Ages range from 3-14. Our campers are from the full range of skills from beginner to advanced.
 
How are the kids grouped? What if my child is more advanced for his/her age?
 
* The campers are grouped by age to begin. They will remain in that group for the first day. The coaches are good at challenging kids at their own level and players at any skill level need to practice fundamentals. If the coach feels they should be in a different group for an additional challenge that can be arranged the next day.
 
Can my camper be placed in a group with a friend/sibling?
 
* Campers are placed in groups by age. If they are the same age, they will already be put into the same group. If they are different ages, please find the camp director on Monday morning during registration to make special requests. The groupings cannot be changed here from the office.
 
What does a typical camp day schedule look like?
 
* For a full-day camp, the day starts with morning skill sessions in their age groups. In these sessions they focus on skill work and possibly use games to reinforce the skill instruction. The camp breaks for water periodically throughout the morning. Coach’s testimonies are presented during those times as well. Lunch and Bible time are in the middle of the camp day. During this time we try to have the kids in the shade and resting. If they are in the full day camp, the afternoon session consists of tournament games. The campers are mixed from their original morning groups and put onto teams that will compete throughout the week.
 
What is the difference between micro, half day and full day camp?
 *Micro is for 3 - 4 year olds and is a 45 minute session only.
* Half day camps are for kids 5-6 yrs old. Their sessions are three hours long.
* Full day camps are for kids 7-14yrs old. Lunch is provided.
 
Can I register my child for the half day camp if they are over seven years old?
 
* If you would like to register your child for the half day camp and they are over seven years old, please contact us at 714 739 8375 or email [email protected] as our online system will not allow you to do that.
 
What happens if it’s very hot?
 
* We know some summer days are very hot and at time there are even heat advisories. We do our best to give the kids shade as often as possible and water breaks are constant on those hot days. We do not cancel camp for heat but we do try our best to make it as comfortable as we can.
 
What is the camper to coach ratio for supervision purposes?
 
* We keep our camper/coach ratio at or below 10:1. 
 
Who will Coach my Child? What am I paying for?
 
* We put on a quality camp with top level players as coaches who are trained in Sports Ministry and licensed by the United States Soccer Federation.  Additionally, we are a non-profit mission’s organization. Some camp funds go to help support the overall mission locally and internationally. 
 
Why don’t you offer discounts?
 
* We do offer a discount for multiple children from one family. We also give limited scholarships to help children that can’t afford camp at all.
 
How do I pick up my child at the end of the day?
 
* Each camper is assigned to a Camp Coach. At the end of the day parents are requested to pick up their child on the field. Also, during registration the first morning of camp you may give the names of those people who have permission to pick up your child at the end of the day.
 
What do you wear to camp?
 
* Campers should wear comfortable clothes that they will be able to play soccer in. Also it is recommended that campers have cleats and shin guards. If your child is a micro (ages 3-4) cleats and shin guards are not necessary. If the camp you are attending is indoor, tennis shoes are required rather than cleats.
 
What happens if I need to cancel my camp registration?
 
* Once you are registered, we have already incurred expenses for processing and credit card fees. In addition (depending on how far out from camp you cancel) we may have also incurred expenses for lunches, coaches etc. Normally refunds will be processed minus a fee (typically $10 - $20).
 
What should I bring to Camp?
 
* You definitely need to bring refillable water bottle or a sport’s drink to have during our break times. Sunscreen is also highly recommended and a hat for those prone to sunburn. Campers are allowed to refill their water bottles from our water coolers if they run out. Campers are also encouraged to bring snacks for themselves to help them get through the day. You can print out our camp preparation info and what to bring here.
