Camp Casey Soccer Weekend is an annual event unique to the FC Alliance club where we encourage teammates and coaches to bond and to prepare for upcoming summer tournaments.  The camp is located on beautiful Whidbey Island and can accomodate over 400 players in a fun filled weekend of soccer, games, and team building activities.  Players stay in the barracks together as a team with parent chaperones. Coaches and trainers schedule each team’s daily soccer activities including speed training, conditioning, nutrition, small-sided events, as well as full field games.  

About Camp Casey

In 1890, the U.S. Army opened a newly built fort that was to guard the entrance to Puget Sound. Located on Whidbey Island, the fort was named “Fort Casey”in honor of Brigadier General Thomas Lincoln Casey, the last U.S. Army chief of engineers. Fort Casey became part of the “triangle of fire,” along with Fort Worden and Fort Flagler, and its big guns were first fired on September 11, 1901. Within 20 years, Fort Casey was the fourth largest military post in Washington, housing 10 officers and 428 enlisted men.

The Army used the fortification until World War II and, when Fort Casey was decommissioned in the 1950s, Seattle Pacific University became the property’s owner — updating and renovating the buildings for groups like yours. Today, SPU continues to welcome school groups, churches, nonprofit organizations, and outdoor education classes to this remarkable historical site.

Known as “Camp Casey” by its many returning visitors, Camp Casey Conference Center continues to offer groups like yours the ideal place to reflect, excel, discover, and grow.  To learn more about Camp Casey visit the http://www.spu.edu/depts/casey/
