Summer 2020 In New Canaan, Connecticut

• 26 August, 2021

Summer Soccer Camp 2020, New Canaan, CT

As summer approaches, kids and parents are looking for super fund and exciting ways to pass the hot summer days. We are excited to offer The Real Madrid Foundation Soccer Camps for our second summer running in New Canaan, Connecticut. We will be returning to St. Luke’s School on July 20-24, 2020 .

Take advantage of the area

Apart from soccer for the younger kids, camps all over New Canaan offer several options for making new friends , trying new things, and kicking boredom to the curb during summer vacation. Some of the options in New Canaan let kids explore nature, build things, make crafts, and play sports. One camp specifically helps kids get better at soccer.

The New Canaan Nature Center summer camp offers weekly camps for kids of all ages where they can explore and learn all around their beautiful 40 acres. Some of the activities include searching for bugs, exploring the ponds, building shelters, watching animal shows, and gardening. Camp Kidsville is a day camp offered through the New Canaan Recreation Department. This cool camp for 5 and 6-year-olds includes such fun as face painting, marshmallow roasting, and Lego day. Staff come from the area and are specially trained in social skills , first aid, camper interaction, and conflict resolution. The YMCA also brings fun for all ages starting at age 3. In these 2-week sessions, kids will swim, do arts and crafts, play sports, and hang out with plenty of new friends. There’s also an outdoor camp for older kids that includes canoeing and archery along with more traditional day camp activities.

Who are we?

If you want to dive into soccer coached by one of the most prestigious clubs in the world , our Soccer Camp, uses coaches that travel from Real Madrid in Spain to the USA for our specific program. We offer for kids ages 6 to 15 in all experience levels. The Real Madrid Foundation uses sport to build relationships and break down barriers. This soccer camp brings lessons in social and cultural awareness, teamwork, and self-confidence along with honed soccer skills. Our days are spent addressing different parts of the game of soccer like heading, shooting, tactics, and using your weaker foot. Goalkeepers will also spend time honing their particular skillset. At the end of the week, we have a larger competition and an awards ceremony . The camps are held on St. Luke’s beautiful fields and state of the art facilities. Camps are open to both boys and girls, and players are grouped by skill level on the Monday of each week by our head coach. Each player gets a Real Madrid Foundation uniform to practice with and take home.

What is the camp?

Using these experienced coaches allows campers to learn from some of the best in the game. They will gain skills in ball handling, shooting, defending, and much more. As their skills increase so will their confidence and their readiness for their upcoming seasons. In addition, an RM coach will be the coaching director of every camp and will lead the group in the RM methodology. Coaching alongside the Spanish coaches are talented local coaches. That means we offer an average coach to athlete ratio of between 8:1 and 11:1. This kind of focused coaching gives kids a tremendous edge .

Just feel it!

Whether you are a soccer mom or a soccer dad, you want your soccer-loving child to have fun and gain skills during the summer. While there are lots of options for kids in these warmer months, we believe that kids that love The Beautiful Game will love our camps. We are excited to offer these wonderful camps again and we look forward to seeing your player.

Obituary of Stephen Edward Benko, Jr.

Stephen Edward Benko Jr., 71, of New Canaan, died Feb. 12 at Stamford Hospital after a brief battle with cancer. 

Born Dec. 28, 1950 to Madeleine Murphy Benko and Stephen Edward Benko Sr., Steve grew up in an Orchard Drive house that his father built with wood salvaged from an old barn on what would become the Saxe Middle School property, and later built his own house on nearby Douglas Road.

He attended St. Aloysius School from kindergarten through eighth grade before attending New Canaan High School, graduating with the class of 1968. Steve went on to the University of New Haven, graduating in 1972 with a bachelor’s degree in public administration, and went to work that same year for the town of New Canaan, where he would be employed for the rest of his life, first as assistant recreation director and then, in 1979, as recreation director. 

He launched the New Canaan travel soccer program in his first year with the Recreation Department, driving groups of kids to games and paying referees out of his own pocket, later co-founding the New Canaan Soccer Association. Throughout his five-decade career, Steve made it a priority to make rec programs available, affordable and open to the entire community. 

He loved baseball and spent years on the board of New Canaan Baseball.

The two projects Benko was most proud of during his five-decade career were Dunning Stadium, and the Waveny Pool. A centerpiece of the great athletic fields at New Canaan High School, Dunning was a years-long effort in which Benko was closely involved. As with every project that Benko took on, he was passionate about and dedicated to the pool at Waveny, a gem of the community that serves hundreds of residents and competitive swimmers each summer.

He loved his work, he loved what he had, and didn’t want for anything.

Steve bounded out of bed each morning with a smile on his face, and it stayed there through the day. Serving others was his joy. He gave no thought to retirement.

Steve loved going to his kids’ sporting events and was their biggest cheerleader.

He loved to cook for a table full of family and friends, and was famous for his paella and Irish soda bread. He learned to cook for a large crowd at the firehouse and went on to cater many times for the Old Timers Clam Bake and Town Hall Christmas parties.

Steve also loved to sneak out of town to his lake house and enjoy relaxation, family time and the simple life. He to loved cruise around in his boat with Sue and his beloved bulldog, Butch, a cigar and bourbon in hand. 

He began serving with New Canaan Fire Co. 1 in 1973, and was its chief for all but one year from 1980 to 1995.

Without asking or taking credit, he set up the PA system for important community ceremonies, including each Veterans Day at God’s Acre and Memorial Day in Lakeview Cemetery. Steve also set up the speakers for the bandstand each Christmas Eve at God’s Acre, staying there long after others had returned home to take them back down again. He loved making the New Canaan Family Fourth happen each July.

In addition to his wife of 31 years, Sue Baer Benko, he is survived by his children, Lindsay Gardner (Christopher), of Troy, N.Y., Stephanie Benko of Philadelphia and Peter Benko of New Canaan, brother David Benko of New Canaan and sister Elaine Sullivan (Mark) of Wilton, as well as many nieces and nephews, who all showed up to the hospital at midnight Saturday, an army of angels who came to take Sue home.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Feb. 24 at the First Presbyterian Church of New Canaan, 178 Oenoke Ridge Road, New Canaan CT 06840.

Family and friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 23 at the Hoyt Funeral Home, 199 Main Street, New Canaan, CT 06840. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “Steve Benko scholarship” through the New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation, 11 Farm Road, New Canaan CT 06840.
