We keep attendance of all campers each day. If your camper is out, we are required to contact parents to verify their absence. If, however, you can phone call us to let us know that your child will be out of camp on a certain day that would be appreciated. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for any missed days of camp. See our Cancellation Policy for further clarification. Regular attendance is encouraged for all camps, as to fully experience the natural soccer training method and improve skills. All campers are expected to be respectful of each other, camp staff, and Amaral Soccer Academy equipment and facilities. The Amaral Soccer Academy will not issue refunds for a child dismissed from a program because of unacceptable behavior.
