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.

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.

Great training and experience this summer for my son, who is a rising Junior. He attended a 3 week Game Changer camp and boarded at IMG Academy this summer. Everything was professionally run, from sales, to checkin, to communication, to training and checkout. Camp Director, Coach George Sasvari, did a great job communicating to parents and players, and the coaches were top notch (special shout-out to Coach Marcelo Carrera). Facilities are simply amazing, from soccer fields (indoor and outdoor), weight room, the dorms, recreation areas, dining halls, etc., and the support staff was very helpful. Thanks also to Jacquline and Brooke for the sales/setup process. Made it easy to understand and select the right program for him. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and soccer training for my son! Thank you IMG Academy Soccer!

Thank you so much for an outstanding week of soccer camp! My son had a great experience on and off the field — a balanced mix of intense training and downtime/fun with new friends. He’s very excited to bring his sharpened skills and work ethic back to his team at home. The post-camp IDP with targeted areas for improvement is particularly appreciated. Coach-Parent communication via app was effective and helpful during the week. VIA with 24hr supervision is a must for the younger athletes — thanks for offering that special program.

Director George Sasvari and his soccer coaches did not disappoint! My teenager hasn't ever been this happy after a soccer camp! We did one week of the soccer camp this year and next year we are going to do two weeks!! The feedback is firm but fair. It's nice to have a plan on how to improve once camp it over! Great job IMG!
