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 gained a deeper understanding of the game. He also interacted with players from all over the world, not just the US, giving him a better prospective of his athletic potential. He felt that the overall experience was so great that he requested to be a part of the school. We applied and he was accepted! We're looking forward to a bright future with IMG Academy.

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.
-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.
