Camp Director Mark Perdew

Since retiring from running the Rocky Mountain Soccer Camp in 2023, and after stepping away from the club soccer scene, I have been receiving requests from various youth soccer organizations and individuals to assist them with soccer camp programming and issues related to club and player development.  In essence, these people have said, “What you did for so many years was so great, and we want to do something similar, but we have no idea how to re-create what you did!”

In light of this, I have decided to start up two new consulting branches of the old RMSC; “Soccer Camp Solutions” and “Select Soccer Solutions.” 

“Soccer Camp Solutions” is geared towards organizations or individuals who would like to start up a soccer camp, or perhaps they have tried to hold a camp, and it didn’t go as well as they had planned.  

“Select Soccer Solutions” is aimed at youth soccer organizations that are in need of direction, or have quality ideas, but don’t know how to put them into action.

We are also offering Digital Copies of our BEST Programs and Coaching Aids.  Our "Quality Coaching Concepts" initiative allows Youth Soccer Organizations to purchase and download  these materials and distribute them to the coaches, directors and coordinators within their clubs.

If you would like to find out more details about these and other programs, please click on the links below.

The Rocky Mountain Soccer Camp is the longest running soccer camp in the nation, operating for 53 consecutive years.  Artie Wachter founded the RMSC in 1971 and ran it for 21 years.  In 1992 Artie sold the business to Mark and Tarla Perdew, who operated the camp for 31 years.  In 2023, the Perdew's decided to retire from running the RMSC full time, although they did run one camp that summer.  After a 1 year hiatus, due to popular demand, Mark Perdew will be offering consulting services, camp program design, and training on a limited basis.

Artie has a new book out!  Of course, there is a really good section on the Rocky Mountain Soccer Camp.  Click on the link below to order it from Amazon.

If you would like to get in touch with Artie, contact Mark Perdew at 720-394-5257 or rmscetc@gmail.com and he will get the info to you.

Obviously, we owe a ton of gratitude to Artie Wachter.  Without his vision, the RMSC would not exist.  Without his leadership, mentorship and friendship, we would not have been able to take the RMSC as far as we did.  THANK YOU ARTIE!!!   WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!
