Frequently Asked Questions

General Information

  • Two Rivers Soccer Camp was started by Dick and Pat Schwendinger in 1971. Dick and Pat dreamed of having a special place for boys and girls to gather and learn the sport of soccer in a setting like no other. Two Rivers is now experiencing second generation families whose parents once attended Two Rivers and whose children are able to attend the camp they remember so well.

  • Two Rivers is comprised of a wonderful community of families who have enjoyed our program year after year, and now, generation after generation. Over 87% of campers return for multiple years.

  • There are several Directors who live on site, full time during the summer at Two Rivers. This ensures that our program maintains our high standards. The Directors are also always available to assist any child who may need additional help outside of their cabin. A Director will always be available should parents require any information.

  • A medical staff member is on site at all times to handle first-aid needs. In the event of a more serious medical issue, campers will be transported to the nearest hospital, which is approximately 20 miles from camp. Parents will be contacted immediately in such cases.

Coaching & Training Programs

  • Two Rivers Soccer Camp has an incredible group of "A" licensed coaches from Europe and the US, many of whom have been with Two Rivers for decades. Equally impressive is the staff of counselors who are undergraduate and graduate students (also from Europe and the US) often pursuing careers in teaching or coaching. Together, this exceptional group of adults is there to service the children and make it the best experience possible.

  • You and your child can choose from two soccer programs. Although there is no difference in skill level, the difference lies in the amount of hours devoted to training per day. Select Training includes two sessions per day for a total of 3 1/2 hours, while Premier Training includes a total of 3 sessions per day for a total of 5 hours of training. If you are registered for Premier Training, you are also able to include an add-on program for Center Forward Training or Goalkeeper Training.

  • Soccer Plus is a unique two-week experience that combines focused soccer training with lifetime sports and outdoor adventure. During the first week, campers participate in the soccer program of their choice. In the second week, they enjoy a variety of activities such as High Sierra hiking, golf, horseback riding, tennis, and stand-up paddleboarding.

    This highly popular option offers the perfect balance of competitive soccer development and an expanded camp experience, giving campers the chance to grow on the field while enjoying the full adventure of Two Rivers.

Daily Life & Activities

  • The Two Rivers program is a unique combination of excellent soccer training with a blend of traditional camp. When off the soccer field campers can choose from a variety of activities during three activity periods each day. Hiking, fishing, arts and crafts, basketball, volleyball, tubing down the river, archery, gold panning, badminton, making survival huts, scavenger hunts, and capture the flag just to name a few. Each evening, the campers engage in an all camp campfire, BINGO night, skit night or soccer trivia night to end the day.

  • After all of these years of doing camp, Two Rivers has mastered the kitchen. We combine a healthy and hearty menu which caters to children and staff alike. Each meal offers a vegetarian and meat entrée along with a salad bar offering fresh fruits and salads. Campers are required to drink a full glass of water at each meal to ensure hydration. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and/or pasta are often offered as options if you aren't finding something that suits you at mealtime.

  • The Two Rivers camp store hour is one of the best parts of the day. It’s a time to relax, socialize and enjoy a well deserved treat after a day of training and activities. Fruit smoothies, Gatorade, ice cream, nachos, soft pretzels and pop corn are just a few of the items we serve in the store. There are also Two Rivers memorabilia available at the store such as sweatshirts, hats, shorts, backpacks, etc. Camp necessities can also be purchased if any camper is in need or has forgotten something (toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen, chapstick, bug spray, etc.). Parents will set up an account before arrival to camp and any left over monies will be returned to your credit card upon departure.

Cabin & Camper Experience

  • The cabins at Two Rivers are typically made up of 8 campers with a counselor to each group who resides in the cabin with the group. Some of the older campers reside in larger dorm like accommodations. You can request a roommate and we will do our best to accommodate those requests. There is a benefit to making new friends at camp so counselors are instructed to encourage campers to branch out and practice their friend making skills.

  • Missing home is a normal part of growing up. We work very hard with those campers who may be experiencing signs of homesickness. We tell our campers it is very normal to miss home and that it is OK to feel that way but also not to dwell on their sad feelings. We help them by encouraging them to stay positive, stay busy and make their families proud. It is our goal to encourage them to make it through the week and fulfill their commitment. Periodically a camper will be experiencing a more severe case of homesickness and after 24 hours we will contact the family and work together on a possible solution. Do Not Tell Your Camper prior to coming to camp that if he or she is not happy that you will come get them or that they can come home. Having an “out” often sets the camper up to fail. It is hard for the administration to help the child who has already given up because their parents said they would come pick them up if things feel uncomfortable. Working on a successful week is a much better goal and strategy!

  • If you need to get in touch with your camper while they’re at camp, please know that Two Rivers will always contact parents if and when they feel it’s necessary. Otherwise, there is real value in campers gaining independence during their time away.

    That said, we’re always available if you need to reach us. You can contact us by phone at 530-836-2869 or by email at info@tworiverssoccer.com
