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.

Read what others say about camp at IMG Academy

★★★★★
My 14 year old son attended a week long football camp and had a great time! He got to work with some amazing coaches who played in College and the NFL. They also incorporated the campers workout with the IMG Academy teams a couple of times and the campers were super excited about that! I feel like it helped the boys push themselves even harder to try and keep up. My son stayed in the dorms while we stayed at Legacy Hotel and he had a lot of fun hanging out at the pool and basketball court. He got to meet a lot of the athletes from IMG, which he thought was really cool. I wasn't sure how much he learned from that camp until I saw how much he improved this season. I believe IMG Academy Football Camp gave him an edge on the competition as a Receiver and a Cornerback. Overall, he had a great experience, highly recommends it for all athletes, and plans on going back to another camp soon!
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★★
Cannot say enough good things about the this camp. It's well-run, rigorous, fun, challenging and organized. Definitely worth the experience for any child who wants to pursue sports at a higher level.

IMG Academy is an amazing place. We were there for a prospect day and week long camp. The coaching is top notch and facilities are the best around.
-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

My child [son] had the time of his life. He didn’t even want to come back home lol. [He] openly expressed how he feels like he belongs at IMG Academy, how he loved the training and new friends he has met and still keep in touch with.
