How to choose a sports camp

Start with your athlete’s goal — building skills, getting seen by college coaches, or just a fun first experience — since that shapes everything else. Weigh day vs. overnight against travel and budget, look into the coaching staff’s background, and confirm the age or skill grouping actually fits your athlete. Before committing, ask about the camper-to-coach ratio, what a typical day looks like, and the refund and injury policies.
