(MARCH 4, 2026 | PEORIA, IL) – With an expanded menu of new summer camp offerings still being planned, Peoria City announces registration is now open for nine summer soccer camps spanning the months of June and July. All camp information is available for review and registration links are available for each program at PeoriaCitySoccer.com within the Camps menu.

     After introducing the Camps at The Yard series last summer, Peoria City merged camp operations with the Central Illinois Soccer Academy (CISA) during the off-season to offer a comprehensive, year-round collection of soccer training programs designed to develop players at all levels. The final three, month-long sessions of the After-School Training Program remain available through the end of May, while the series of summer camps will open with the Peoria City Junior Day Camp (ages 7-14) and Kicking Kids Camp (ages 5-7) June 8-11 at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex.

     Among the benefits available through Peoria City’s reimagined School of Carp Kids Club, members receive a 10 percent discount off all of the summer camp registration fees (After-School Training excluded). The School of Carp Kids Club is available to Peoria City’s youth fans ages 12 and under. In addition to the summer camp discounts, the $50 membership benefits also include a membership card, a School of Carp Kids Club t-shirt designed by club member Dylan Karl, a complimentary tennis ball for the halftime Tennis Ball Toss contest at every Peoria City home game, a complimentary activity ticket redeemable in the Discover Peoria Play Zone at every Peoria City home game and an invitation to join the Peoria City players on the field for a 20-minute pregame warm-up session prior to every home game.

     All Peoria City After-School Training Programs and Summer Camp descriptions may be reviewed online by selecting the 2026 Camps menu at PeoriaCitySoccer.com. An abbreviated schedule of camps is listed below with links to each program available by clicking the camp name:
