STAFF: Each year The Raider Soccer Camp assembles an excellent group of counselors to work with our campers. Not only are they talented players in their own rights, but the Directors feel they interact well with children. Please understand that this brochure was printed in early April, and sometimes people and plans can change. Anticipated counselors for this summer include:
