Chelsea F.C. Overnight Camps

The camp is held at Episcopal High School, a private, co-educational independent boarding school located in Alexandria, VA. Their premier facilities feature state-of-the-art, natural grass and synthetic turf soccer fields, indoor training spaces and fitness equipment as well as classrooms, a swimming pool, an air-conditioned dining hall and other indoor common spaces on campus that are ideal for learning and socializing when not on the fields for training and games.

Our camper-to-coach ratio is 15:1, ensuring personalized attention and quality instruction.

Campers will be trained by professional coaches from Chelsea FC and their official USA training partner, The St. James. Traveling over from the Blues’ Academy in London, Chelsea FC coaches are all UEFA B or UEFA A licenced coaches who have considerable experience with the soccer industry.

Training will follow the same methodology employed at the club’s academy, with sessions focused on technical skills, tactical awareness, and game intelligence.

Each day includes structured training sessions, matches, fitness activities, team-building exercises, cool-downs in the outdoor pool, and free time for relaxation. A detailed itinerary will be shared closer to the camp dates.

Campers stay in modern climate-controlled dormitories on the Episcopal High School campus, typically sharing a double room with another participant, with assignments based on age and gender.

Three nutritious meals are provided per day in Episcopal's world-class dining hall. Special dietary needs can be accommodated with prior notice.

Campers should pack soccer gear (cleats, shin guards, training kits), casual clothing, toiletries, and any necessary medications. A detailed packing list will be provided upon registration.

All cancellations must be made in writing by the person listed on the registration form to The St. James via email: info@chelseafccamps.com or via postal mail to The St. James, 6805 Industrial Road, Springfield, VA 22151, and must be postmarked prior to the group’s departure, and must include account number, registrant’s name, and complete address.
