Overnight campers stay in supervised campus housing, providing a structured residential experience within a collegiate environment. Living on campus helps athletes stay focused and build camaraderie with teammates outside training sessions.
Mini Camp Day and Mega Camp Day participants attend scheduled practice sessions and return home each afternoon. Mega Camp Extended Day offers longer daily programming but does not include overnight lodging.
Residential campers follow an organized schedule that balances practice blocks, meals, and supervised downtime. Staff members oversee housing areas to maintain structure, accountability, and a consistent routine throughout the stay.
Meal service depends on the selected format. Mini Camp Day and Mega Camp Day participants receive lunch during camp hours, giving athletes time to refuel between training sessions.
Mega Camp Extended Day and Overnight campers receive both lunch and dinner to support the extended training schedule and longer time on campus.
