Unforgettable experiences outside of sport

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, and more. Other activities are planned, including movie nights on the pool jumbotron, pool parties and Campus Center activities.

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 Whalburgers, Big Chicken, a cafe, food trucks and snacks in the campus store.

Our commitment to your health & safety

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.

Off-campus Excursions

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.

My son has had 2 rewarding summers at IMG Academy. The baseball coaching and attention to detail is second to none. The facilities are top tier. They also mix the right amount of instruction and independence, offering fun outings like a Rays game. He can’t wait to go back!

My 14-year-old son attended IMG Academy for a week of summer baseball camp with two friends and enjoyed it immensely. The facilities were first-rate and the coach-per-kid-ratio was solid as well. As a parent, they also kept us looped into what was happening that week by sending us videos of our son from the drills, practices and scrimmages. It was a great experience for all...

Our ten year old son absolutely LOVED attending IMG Academy’s baseball camp this summer! Two weeks turned into three and he’ll be back again in December! We along with his baseball coach at school and Little League coaches see tremendous growth in his hitting, fielding, pitching, running and stealing bases! He brings the HEAT while on the mound! The coaches are amazing and with their vast experience and passion for the game, they make impactful investments in each athlete’s development! The customer service is fantastic and the registration process is smooth! He usually has an IMG Academy hat, shirt or a pair of socks on EVERY day!! Our son LOVES IMG Academy!
