This progressed to it’s first overnight camp program at Eastern Illinois University, Illinois State University in the early 1990’s, Lake Forest Academy and then finally finding a home at Lake Forest College which has played host to Eurotech® programs since 2001. Women’s Soccer at NCAA Division III Lake Forest College is also in good hands with veteran Head Coach, TR Bell at the helm. Eurotech® and LFC are both known for their great programs and LFC is always one of Eurotech’s favorite facilities.
The LFC campus is home to The Nike® Soccer Performance Center, a program attracting players from all over the U.S. and internationally! This location limits our camper enrollment to 80-100 campers per week. A main feature of the LFC campus is it’s multi-million dollar athletic facility with indoor turf soccer field and newly renovated dining center, both favorite campus destinations of all our campers.

Lake Forest College
Campus Overview
Athletic Facilities Lake Forest College offers Eurotech® campers excellent athletic facilities with acres of natural grass and the latest artificial turf fields (2 grass and 2 turf stadium fields!) as well as the indoor soccer turf field and futsal courts which are air-conditioned. In addition to plenty of soccer fields, LFC also features an Olympic sized indoor pool used for recovery, regeneration, and recreation by overnight campers pending availability in the evenings. Eurotech® also has access to two large gymnasiums which are used for indoor training in the case of lightning or bad weather in the area. Campers always need to bring indoor training soccer shoes in case of inclement weather and for use in the indoor soccer center.
Dormitories/Rooming Campers will be housed in either Roberts or McClure Hall, which are both non-air conditioned. Each "quad" or "suite" in Roberts and McClure consists of two bedrooms divided by a private bathroom and closet area. These dorm rooms accommodate 2 campers per room and 4 per suite. Residents have access to the TV lounge on the main floor as well as large game and lounge in the Campus Center. Roommate requests are typically honored if requests are made prior to July 1st. Attending teams and groups of players will always be roomed in adjacent rooms on the same floor whenever possible. Clean and modern laundry facilities in the lower level of the dormitories feature a vending machine with detergents, laundry supplies, folding tables and plenty of coin operated washers and dryers accessible to all campers, guests, and staff. Please bring your own laundry soap and do not count on vending machines to be full during the summer months when many camps come through the dormitories at LFC. The dorms are a very short walk to both the main soccer fields and dining center. Boys and girls are always placed on separate floors, separate wings or separate dorms altogether pending the facility. Multiple Eurotech® Staff are always placed on each floor and provide supervision and support to all campers.
Campus Dining The recently remodeled and air-conditioned Hart Dining Hall is located just a short walk from the dormitories. The modern Dining Center offers a vast variety of entrees at every meal and also features a full salad bar, fruit bar, dessert bar, multiple drink stations (Milk, Sodas, Teas), juice bar, coffee stations, and buffet style dining, where campers can choose from all their favorites like pizza, burgers, hot dogs, etc. as an example at lunch. Typically there are drink vending machines in the dormitories and Eurotech® also offers a Pizza Party for all Residential/Overnight campers on the last night of camp.
Camp Enrollment Enrollment at the Illinois camp sessions have always been high with sell-outs of 80-120 campers per week. With the brand new athletic facilities and air-conditioned indoor turf soccer field in place, teams, groups and individual players from all over Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana will attend sessions at LFC. Enrollment will be on a first come, first serve basis and be set-up to guarantee the correct ratios of goalkeepers to field players as well as camp staff to campers with a limit of 100 campers per week.
Campus Security Lake Forest College is a very secure campus and features 24-hour campus security guards who patrol the dorms all night and work directly with the Eurotech® Site Director along with experienced Eurotech® Coaching Directors, Athletic Training Staff, and Counselors who also live and sleep in the dorms and monitor camper activity daily. The nearby Recreation Center Reception Area is also fully staffed 24/7 for added security and peace of mind.
