Does anyone have any recommendation on residential summer camp for boys in OR, WA or Bay Area? My son has done the Timbers residential camp in the past and liked it, but would like to try a different university/environment. I know UP and OSU both offer residential camps. Does anyone have any experience with either program recently?

I'd love to get rid of my kid for the summer so I am interested in this too? I don't really care if the camp is any good as long as it keeps her out of my hair.

I've heard good things about the UP camp. Thinking about it for this summer. They have a lot of new, younger coaches with a lot more energy than some of the old kooks they had in the past.

One idea would be to plant contraband in her room and call the police. She gets locked up for the summer and you are free to relax, party and travel.
As long as she completes the diversion programs it shouldn't affect her ability to get into college. At least I don't think it will.

if you're in portland, the UP one seems like it would feel less "residential" and more like just hanging out in portland. i'm sure it's similar to OSU camp in all other respects. OSU just got a new coach, so it will be interesting to see what new ideas he brings.

Just lurking here from Washington, but my son just went (U13) for 8 days to One Soccer School (he is there now) and he checks in by imessage to me at 9:45 at night (when they are done with showers, yoga and nutrition school). He LOVES it. It is a ton of soccer and not for those who don't like soccer starting at 5:45 am wakekup and up. It is a beautiful place and although getting him there was a pain I am glad he is happy and playing lots of quality soccer.
