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.

What soccer camp families are saying
This camp was amazing. All of the coaches were amazing. It was a great experience and I would love to come back. One of the reasons my camp experience was amazing was that all of the coaches were so supportive and helpful!
Soccer Camper
My son had an outstanding experience at IMG Academy. The coaching staff created a challenging, positive, and professional environment that pushed him to improve while building his confidence. The training sessions were well organized, highly competitive, and appropriate for players competing at a high level. He came home motivated, sharper technically and tactically, and excited to continue developing his game. The facilities, organization, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend IMG Academy to other competitive soccer families and look forward to returning in the future.
