WHAT CAMPERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT ATTENDING THE COLLEGE ID CAMP
“The camp was a great experience for me and gave me real exposure to University Coach’s. I actually was first introduced to my future school there when Alan Alderson (former UNBC Head Coach) spoke which allowed me to research more and find that UNBC was the right fit as a school for me.”

“It is a great opportunity to showcase your abilities as a developing soccer player, and to be exposed to multiple high level university coaches. I really enjoyed having the chance to work with each coach first hand – It allowed for me to better distinguish their coaching styles and to build connections . The Western Canada College ID Camp was a massive tool in me reaching my athletic goals, and I recommend it to any aspiring players who are seeking the next level.”
Anika Shelrud – University of Northern Colorado
“This camp provided the opportunity for college coaches that had already been in contact with me to further evaluate my game, and also helped me network with other coaches that had never seen me play before. Furthermore, it was really valuable having hands on coaching from the head coaches of prospective schools, as it gave me an idea of their coaching style/character. Off the field, I also had a blast hanging out with other like-minded guys that I’m still in contact with to this day, and getting to experience a ‘dorm-life’ atmosphere. I would highly recommend this camp to serious players interested in playing post-secondary soccer or simply improving your game through quality coaching.”
Aidani Moore – Trinity Western University
“Great experience and exposure for my schools decisions and training opportunities with different coaches ”
Sam Fletcher – University of British Columbia
“The camp helped familiarize me with what College/University coaches are expecting”
Cody Gysbers – University of Northern British Columbia
“Being involved in the camp was a great experience for me personally. Being around people for a week who have the same aspirations and goals as you do is quite comforting. The process of being scouted for a varsity team can be exciting but stressful at times and everybody there was going through the same process so we were able to share our thoughts and feelings on a subject mostly everyone was familiar with. In the camp I had the chance to be coached by many CIS and NCAA coaches. Not only were we coached by them but throughout the week we had the chance to have 1 on 1 time and ask any questions or simply just have a conversation. The camp opened my eyes to the compete level that is needed by an individual in order to claim a spot on a varsity squad. All in all the Western Canada ID camp was beneficial and I would recommend going and taking advantage of the opportunity.”
