Ages/grades and other enrollment requirements vary camp to camp. You may refer to each camp's web page for details. Please be aware that due to NCAA regulations our camps are not permitted to make exceptions to the stated camp eligibility requirements. 

Some camps offer early registration and group discounts. Please read your specific camp brochure for more information. While discounts may be available for a camp, NCAA regulations prohibit us from offering scholarships or other financial aid to campers. It is not permissible for boosters to provide expenses for individuals to attend any of the Badger Sports Camps. Expenses include, but are not limited to, lodging, meals, transportation, and/or camp tuition.

Registration for Badger Sports Camps should be completed online, with the option to make payment by credit card or by check via mail (Please allow 7-10 days mailing and processing time if paying by check). Registering online will insure accuracy of data, provide a secure setting for sensitive information, and will prevent campers from being left out of a camp that reaches maximum capacity while their forms are being sent by mail. Online registration closes at least 24 hours prior to the beginning of each camp session.

Many of our camps do fill up early. If you would like to sign up for a waiting list, please complete the registration process and you will be automatically added to the waitlist if the session is full. You will not be charged when being added to the waitlist, but will be invited to make payment if a spot becomes available for you. Please note, not all camps maintain a waitlist once the session is full.

Normally camp confirmation packets are sent via email to camp participants approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the camp date. Camp confirmation packets may also be available online. Please check your specific sport camp page and session for the blue “INFO PACKET” button.

Many of our summer camps offer two enrollment options for campers - resident and commuter. Resident campers (also called "overnight campers") stay on campus in the dorms at night, whereas commuter campers (also called "day campers") "commute" between campus and their home (or where they are staying) each day.

The Camp Health Staff services are available for all camps. Should an injury or illness occur during the daytime, health staff will determine the best course of action for medical attention. If an injury occurs that potentially limits the ability to continue participating in the camp, the Health Staff Supervisor will evaluate the participant and contact the parent/guardian and discuss care options. If the participant needs immediate physician referral, they will be transported to the UW Hospital by health staff, and the parent/guardian will be contacted. Cost for treatment of injuries/hospitalization is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. For all overnight camps, health staff, including a nurse are available in case of any emergencies.

The required Confidential Health History Questionnaire, Confidential Consent for Medical Treatment and Concussion/Head Injury Waiver Form are completed online as part of the registration process.

Coaches must follow NCAA recruiting rules that establish when coaches may and may not have contact with a prospective student-athlete. Therefore, even if you call a coach and leave a voicemail, the coach may not be permitted to respond.

Our camps offer campers an opportunity to work closely with coaches. NCAA rules allow our coaches to have recruiting conversations with campers during camp. Recruiting videos or other materials should not be directed to the Camps Office.
