About

The Colorado Storm Thunder Prep Camp (formerly Rising Rapids) is a high-intensity pre-season bridge for young athletes in the U7–U10 age groups. Hosted at Bison Park in Castle Rock, this evening camp is specifically designed to shake off the off-season rust and transition players into a focused, competitive mindset just in time for the fall. It serves as the vital developmental link for players ready to move toward more structured team play.


While anchored at Bison Park, this camp is open to players from all Storm regions and non-Storm players ready for a challenge. We foster a community-driven environment where players from across the region can sharpen their technical foundation and build the physical stamina required for competitive play. It is a welcoming, high-standard setting where motivated athletes can find their footing alongside new teammates.


The curriculum focuses on the essential pre-season pillars: ball mastery, small-group tactical principles, and explosive soccer-specific fitness. By combining individual skill refinement with realistic match scenarios, our staff ensures that every participant enters the new season with a sharp technical edge and a clear understanding of team strategies.


Session Schedule:

  • U7–U10: Monday–Thursday | 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM (August 3, 4, 5, 6, 2026)


Parents choose the Thunder Prep Camp to give their child the necessary "spark" before the first whistle of the season. This four-day program provides the framework and supportive community needed to prepare every young athlete for the physical and mental challenges of the upcoming year at Bison Park.
