Coach spotlight
Mark Napier - Director
Over the many years of coaching Mark has won numerous individual coaching awards and has achieved success at all levels from high school to college to professional. Mark’s extensive experience with both women’s and men’s teams will serve him well in leading our boys’ and girls’ track & cross-country programs.
Unforgettable experiences outside of sport
To maximize the IMG 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 Brick Oven (pizza and sandwiches), La Boulangerie (drinks, desserts and more), 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.
Enhance your camp
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 Livingston’s Arcade, Sky Zone or Smugglers Cove as well as long distance excursions to Busch Gardens, Topgolf 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.

What others say about camp at IMG
★★★★
Not only does IMG Academy have a beautiful campus and top-notch facilities, but what really makes IMG 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.
