What Our Campers Say
It was the best camp I have ever attended. I got better every day and took my game to the next level.
I am so happy I was able to go to camp at IMG. Being able to have 1-on-1 sessions with trainers and coaches has given me more confidence.
The coaches here at IMG made me feel at home and pushed me every day. The season after I came home from camp I moved up from JV to Varsity on my high school team!
