Joy of the People
Private
Joy of the People is a Twin Cities nonprofit soccer organization whose summer camps run every week of the summer at its St. Paul site on Cromwell Avenue, for kids ages 5 through high school. Families can pick full-day or half-day sessions, buy weekly camps, use a punch card, or take an 'Endless Summer' option covering the whole season; pricing ranges from about $239 per week to $1,395 for the summer. The camp's approach centers on free play rather than drill-heavy instruction, treating play as the way kids develop. The organization also runs fall and spring leagues and winter skill training.
