Winter Break Camp
Between the holiday to-do list and a house full of kids with energy to burn, winter break can feel long. Our Winter Break Camp gives them somewhere fun to be. They’ll make a new winter craft each day, like a cotton ball penguin or a snowy forest scene, then head to the field for soccer games with their friends.
Choose Art & Soccer Camp at one of our three locations, or Brazilian Way Camp for kids 7 and up, with freestyle moves and Portuguese phrases from our Brazilian coaches. Every child goes home tired, happy, and holding something they made.
Early bird pricing is available for a limited time, so save your spot today.

Where Art Meets Soccer
Keep your kids active and creative this winter break with DC Way’s Art & Soccer Camp! Each day brings a mix of fun soccer games, hands-on art projects, and time with friends.
