Whether you're just starting or looking to compete at the next level, this is your opportunity to be part of something from the ground up.

Enhance your camp experience with 1:on:1 IMG Academy+ online mental performance and nutrition coaching:
To maximize the IMG Academy experience, we recommend that campers choose the boarding option and stay in a campus residence hall. Campers can make a roommate request, upgrade to a private room or get assigned a roommate. Roommate assignments are made by gender, then age similarities, then same sport participation when possible.
All campers also have the chance to unwind and hang out between camp programming sessions. The rec area between the residence halls includes a resort-style pool (with lifeguard), sand volleyball court, basketball courts, turf sport court, table tennis, Blended smoothie bar and more. Other activities are planned, including movie nights on the pool jumbotron, pool parties and more.
All boarding campers can access breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Servery, a buffet-style eatery. Other options for extra fees not included in their meal plan include Melt'd (specialty paninis and pizzas), Mad Char (burgers & more), The Shop (snacks), food trucks, and more.
The health and safety of campers is our highest priority. Each residence hall has residential mentors, supervision and curfews to ensure campers feel safe and supported. We also have campus security, including gated entries, on campus 24/7.
We partner with the renowned Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (JHACH) to deliver health services on campus. Also open 24/7, JHACH provides on-site nurses to address any health issue that arises. Health services can also distribute prescription medication, schedule on-campus appointments and provide transportation to off-campus medical appointments.
With your camp experience, there are opportunities to take advantage of some of our chaperoned, off-campus excursions. Some of our options could include local area attractions such as Pop Stroke Mini Golf as well as long distance excursions to Busch Gardens, Disney's Magic Kingdom, or even a Tampa Bay Rays game. These trips are an exciting way for your camper to engage with others outside of training in addition to the on-campus options that are also available.
Your Customer Support Specialist will connect with you after you reserve your camper’s spot to review options but if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with our Customer Support Team at [email protected] or call (941) 749-8660.
*subject to availability based on the time of the year. These trips are also first come, first serve.
Please note, not all technology or facilities mentioned above will be used for every camp program.
