Soccer camps for development, not id

Athletic Recruits
1

This isn’t exactly a college recruiting question, but I thought this group would be knowledgeable nonetheless. My son is currently a 9th grader and wants to attend a soccer camp for a couple of weeks this summer. We are not yet interested in college id or recruiting, this would purely be to continue to develop his skills. There are SO many camps out there, I’m looking for recommendations for any programs that really are a cut above in terms of player development and coaching.

We are located in Boston, but he’d prefer residential anyway, so can go anywhere. Including to camps in the UK, which might be cool just to have done assuming the coaching is as good or better than camps in the US. He currently plays for his high school team, but has played club in the past (and may again in the future, but now he’s at boarding school and the logistics are challenging to play club). I’d say he’s at the level of an ECNL player, but not DA.

Suggestions?

SoccerPlus camps are supposed to be good. They have different locations, including (I think) a session at NMH.

New England Revs camp is excellent. My son enjoyed his time there. They stay at Dean college, and then go to the Stadium a few times. They might get to use the new training facility at Gillette this year, that would be cool.

We are in Indiana, so it is nearby for us, but Notre Dame “elite” camp has for years been a great training camp. Bobby Clark, and now Chad Riley, bring in college coaches who are dedicated, caring and good teachers of the sport. And, current players work the camp as assistants and dorm supervisors, so there is a nice mentoring relationship that develops.
