Celebrating the Diversity of Twin Cities Soccer

Camp Harambee is a free one-day soccer training designed to celebrate the diversity of the Twin Cities soccer community. High school-aged boys and girls will participate in fun, high-level trainings and receive support from experienced coaches in the metro area. We are pleased to offer Camp Harambee on the campus of Macalester College in the heart of the Twin Cities.

Are you a young adult (age 19-25) interested in coaching? Camp Harambee is a chance for young coaches to volunteer, be mentored and support their younger peers. We encourage young coaches of color to join us to learn and make new connections.
