SoccerPlus Camper Quote: |
"Colgate was really nice place.
Great school, beautiful fields and
surrounding grounds and a nice town
nearby."
"Colgate's
facilities were great. The dorms
were a plus because in the past
camps we had to share a community
shower on each floor for everyone.
So this made the week go by
smoother. Also the soccer fields
were in great condition for training."
"The fields
were amazing! Some of the best
fields I have played on."
"Colgate is
the best site I have attended a
SoccerPlus Camp at so far." |
|
SoccerPlus Staff Quote: |
"Great site. Dorms were satisfactory
and air conditioned."
"Colgate University is one of the
flagship locations for SoccerPlus.
The feeling you get from being a
part of camp at this location is
special." |

Local
sites of Interest: |
Colgate is in the
village of Hamilton, which is about
10 miles from the geographic center
of New York state. The area is ideal
for biking and running in the
rolling hills of the Chenango Valley
and hiking and skiing in the nearby
Adirondack Mountains.
Cooperstown, with its famed Baseball
Hall of Fame, Farmers Museum, and
Glimmerglass Opera, is less than an
hour away, as is the city of
Syracuse with attractions such as
Syracuse Stage, Everson Museum, and
Syracuse Symphony.

History: |
In 1817, 13 men - six
clergy and seven laymen - met in the
frontier settlement of
Hamilton with "13 dollars, 13
prayers, and 13 articles." (To this
day, members of the Colgate
community consider the number 13 a
good omen.) In that meeting, the men
founded the Baptist Education
Society of the State of New York,
the cornerstone in the foundation of
what would become Colgate
University.

About
the
Fields: |
Because our camp at
Colgate University usually brings in
about 250 students per week we use
several different areas of the
campus for soccer activities. From
game fields to practice areas and
more we will be spread out around
the campus. The Goalkeepers
traditionally will train on the
Academy fields and the FieldPlayers
will train adjacent to the Athletic
Center on the Varsity Practice
Fields.
Colgate University has first-class
facilities which include a
gymnasium, pool, a field house, a
boathouse, bowling alley, shooting
ranges, hockey rink and a top 5
university golf course and much
more.

Hotels: |
Beautiful rolling
hills envelop the village of
Hamilton. Tree-lined streets,
historic homes, the stunning

and live concerts on the Village
Green give one the sensation of
stepping back in time.
