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 (3 grass and 1 turf stadium field!) as well as the brand new indoor soccer turf field which is air-conditioned. In addition to plenty of soccer fields, LFC also features an Olympic sized indoor pool used for recovery, regeneration, and recreation by campers pending availability. 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 are encouraged 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.

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. There are also drink vending machines in the dormitories and Eurotech® also offers the nightly Pizza Party for all Residential/Overnight campers. 

Camp Enrollment
Enrollment at the Illinois camp sessions have always been high with sell-outs of up to 100-125 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 be returning and the 2016 sessions at LFC will be limited to approximately 120 campers per week. 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.

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.
