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.

★★★★★
This was my first experience at IMG Academy for my 2 boys. It was truly an amazing time for them. One was in Tennis and the other one in Basketball. They both learned so much and had an unforgettable time boarding with others. One son had to board alone so I wouldn’t like that again since it’s hard to make friends and mingle with others when your alone but they would go back otherwise. The facility is beautiful, with some much to do on your down time. Love IMG [Academy]! Will be returning !
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★★
We sent our oldest for 3 weeks. He had an absolute blast. He met kids from all over the country in different sports. He had incredible coaching. He came back super motivated and confident. The staff had the right combination of direction and fun for teenagers. It is expensive but worth it in our opinion. We will be sending him back next summer and will consider full time school there as well.
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★★
IMG Academy has been like a second home for my boys over the past couple of summers. The instruction, environment and professionalism of the staff is just awesome! My boys continue to grow in their sports each year they spend time at IMG Academy.

★★★★★
We recently sent our two sons, age 16 and 14, to IMG Academy tennis and basketball camps respectively,. This was an unbelievable, life-changing experience for both of them. Their skills improved tremendously, they learned how to be much more disciplined, and they had a wonderful time with doing it. We will definitely be sending them back!
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★
Not only does IMG Academy have a beautiful campus and top-notch facilities, but what really makes IMG Academy a special place are its people. From the teachers to the coaches to the campus life mentors, we know our son is learning, growing and becoming the best version of himself. I have always heard it takes a village to raise teenagers into responsible adults, and we believe our son has had the best village possible.
-Internal, 4 stars
★★★★★
Both my girls attended summer camp for a one week session. My only regret is that we didn’t schedule a longer camp. The coaching was very helpful, my girls worked hard and both showed improvement. They also had fun!!! I would definitely recommend.
