Soccer Camp Value Worksheet
Compare camps on what actually matters, not the sticker price. Fill it in on screen or print it and write by hand.
The number that matters is cost per coaching hour, not the headline price. A cheap camp with short days and big groups can cost more per quality hour than a pricier one with long days and small groups. Work out the hours first, then divide.
