Stone had such an amazing experience at camp this summer!  We are definitely bringing him back for another year. I must admit, I was a little reluctant coming over seas for our sons first overnight camp experience, but am so glad we did!!! The staff and counselors were great. Thank you to all of your staff and counselors as this was one of his best experiences ever!!!

AC Milan Junior Camps

The soccer training sessions (depending on your site) will be lead by AC Milan soccer legends, in cooperation with Sporteventi coaches, such as Stefano Eranio (Former Player and AC Milan Youth Coach staff / Scout), Diego Bortoluzzi (Former Italian Serie A head coach and assistant coach in English Premier League), and Walter De Vecchi (Former player and coach in AC Milan Youth Sector) known as the AC Milan supervisors and supervised by a Milan Junior Camps head coach (Luca Santochirico).

The camp is not a soccer camp full of rigid training exercises, nor is it designed to immediately produce champions. It is a soccer camp designed for having fun and playing with the other boys; a soccer camp spent learning to respect each other and learn new skills. It is an important time to stimulate soccer players’ sense of responsibility and to learn the important value of rules and education.

The AC Milan camps are held in some of the most famous and exclusive locations of the Italian Alps – as Cortina d’Ampezzo [Dolomites], Asiago Mountain Plateau, and the Italian Adriatic Coast at the seasides of Jesolo Lido [Venice] and Lignano Sabbiadoro.

The parents of Federico, previous year participant, Ferragamo (famous Italian luxury good company) stated that the “Milan Junior Camp of Cortina D’Ampezzo was highly educational and instructive.  For Federico it was a positive experience besides being lots of fun as well.”

The MJC is open to boys from 8 to 16 years of age and of all nationalities, both groups and individual. The official languages of the camps are Italian and English.

The Milan Junior Camps welcome every year more than 1000 campers during 11 weeks throughout the months of June, July and August: on average 500 from Italy, and 500 from 50 different countries and in particular: USA, CANADA, UK, JORDAN, KUWAIT, SAUDI ARABIA, EMIRATES, JAPAN, CROATIA, SLOVENIA, GERMANY, GREECE, RUSSIA, INDIA, MEXICO, LEBANON, UKRAINE, SLOVAKIA, CHINA and SLOVENIA.

Milan Junior Camp Day

At each camp, the AC Milan supervisors will choose one or two 9-10 year old boys (2014 – 2015) and one 13-14 year old boy (2010 – 2011) during each session. They will be able to take part in the Milan Junior Camp Day which is a two day meeting of the best players from all Milan Junior Camps worldwide. The Milan Junior Camp Day will presumably take place in the fall 2024 or spring 2025 at the Vismara – Milan Sport Center. Vismara is the sport center where all AC Milan Youth Team sides train (the First Team and the Primavera (U19) Team train at Milanello instead).

There should be about 200 class ’24 boys who will play each other in friendly games all day long while being watched attentively by AC Milan Youth Team sides’ talent scouts. Afterwards they will be taken to the San Siro stadium for a Milan home game and some of them might be able to meet some first team players after the game.

NB. The date for the MJC DAY will be announced as soon as it is known but NOT before autumn 2024.
