We've run our camps at the Chvojkovský mlýn site continuously since 2014. (Before that we were elsewhere.) The site suits us perfectly because we have it to ourselves, with no other groups, and it's enclosed from its surroundings. Full board is provided on site, with kids eating 5 times a day. Right on the grounds there's a large grass pitch, a small training pitch, and a small artificial-turf pitch. The site also has a swimming pool, which we use when the weather is good. Younger kids stay in the main building, older kids in brick cabins.

BASIC CAMP INFO

The stay is 6 days long. It begins on Sunday (arrival for lunch around 11 AM) and ends on Saturday (departure after breakfast). Camp capacity is set at 63 players. Players are grouped by age and ability, which lets us cover a fairly wide age range while still letting players train and compete against peers — or players of similar ability.

The coaches are from Ambassadors FC Praha and Ambassadors FC Děčín, with many years of coaching experience both at Ambassadors clubs and elsewhere. The head coach is Tomáš Jeník, who holds a UEFA A coaching license and has many years of coaching experience, including 4 years coaching youth players at Mladá Boleslav.

Our training approach is focused on the individual. We want every player to be able to improve, including through the mistakes they make while playing. We treat a safe environment as the foundation of the training process — one that lets players not just feel good, but genuinely improve their game.

At camp, kids get to experience a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that combines friendship, a safe environment, acceptance, and a shared ambition to get better at football and in life. We're glad that strong friendships are formed at camp.

About half the players at camp are usually from Ambassadors and half from elsewhere. Everyone is welcome.

Ambassadors is a Christian organization. That doesn't mean only believing players can come to camp — quite the opposite. We're open to everyone. We run shared Christian programs based on Bible stories, aimed at introducing players to the Christian way of life and its principles. Players can take a lot of good away from the programs and the coaches' experience, but we always respect their own views and beliefs.

TRANSPORT

Everyone makes their own way to camp.
However, we do offer shared bus transport from Prague. A round trip from Prague costs 650 CZK, or 400 CZK for just one way.
For the trip to camp, meet at the bus on Sunday, July 5 at 9:30 AM at Prague's Main Railway Station.
After camp, the return is at the same spot on Saturday, July 11 around 11:30 AM.

PRICE

The camp costs 9,300 CZK.
A deposit of 3,000 CZK is due with registration.
The remaining balance is due by May 15, 2026.

The price covers the full camp program, accommodation, 5 meals a day, and a camp T-shirt.

We were forced to raise the camp price because of the steady rise in costs we have to cover on site. We always try to keep the price as low as possible. Unfortunately, last year's camp ran at a loss for us, on top of the site's usual annual price increase. Our price is still one of the lowest for comparable camps. We know the amount can be too high for some families. That's why we offer social scholarships, which can be requested individually from the camp's head leader.

On Wednesday we have a rest day with a special program — games, an outing, or forest football golf. We adjust the program to the weather.
In free time, players rest or can use board games, ping-pong, the pool, or the basketball and football pitches. Together with the coaches, we also come up with free-time activities to make camp more enjoyable, especially for players who find it harder to make friends or need less rest.

We spend the last evening together around the campfire.
