USD is committed to providing the best athletic experience for all of our campers. We have a rich history of helping campers improve athletic skills, develop friendships, and learn lessons in leadership, teamwork, and responsibility.
Our coaching staffs and student-athletes offer high caliber skill development on one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Campers get to practice and play in some of the West Coast's finest athletic facilities while enjoying the San Diego weather. Come learn from NCAA Division I coaches and student-athletes! We are looking forward to hosting you!
The following are the responsibilities of each participant: Maintain respectful attitudes toward faculty, coaches, instructors, counselors and all other individuals; demonstrate proper use of university equipment and facilities; attend camp sessions and activities; follow instructions; respect curfews; refrain from vulgar and profane language; and come prepared to learn, listen, and have fun!
Any participant involved in theft; illegal use of drugs; consumption of alcohol; infraction of dormitory rules or curfew; or any other unlawful act will be sent home. No refunds will be given for those asked to leave the program because of these violations. Parents are responsible for picking up a participant who has been dismissed and for paying any costs incurred for transportation.
Participants should be aware of the following rules and precautions:
Camp dates and pricing information can be found on the camp specific pages. To access this information, click on the Sport/Camp you are interested in.
Full tuition is due at the time of registration. No deposits or partial payments will be accepted. A parent can create one login identity for themselves and register multiple family members to different camps with that one login. At the time of registration, a parent will need to enter all medical emergency contact and insurance information.
Due to high demand, some camps fill very quickly and registering early is recommended. Walk-ons will not be accepted. When you receive your confirmation email, please read it immediately and check it over to verify that all information (camp dates, payment amount, etc.) is correct. Notify us immediately if any of the information is incorrect.
Only a participant and his or her parents have authority to request a refund. There is a $75 non-refundable cancellation fee for ALL cancellations made at least two weeks prior to the first day of camp, in addition to the initial processing fee. Full refunds, minus the $75 nonrefundable portion of camp tuition, will be given on all cancellations requested at least 2 weeks before the camp begins Within two weeks of camp, the nonrefundable cancellation fee increases to $150, in addition to the initial processing fee No refunds will be given after the start of camp.
The simplest way to cancel a camp registration is to email sportscamps@sandiego.edu with the participant name, camp enrolled in and registration confirmation number. If a program is canceled, a full refund will be given excluding processing fees. USD cannot be held responsible for any change or cancellation charges required by airlines, travel agencies or other institutions.
Transfer is available in some cases. When available, there is no transfer fee when transferring from housing to non-housing within the same sport or when transferring between weeks of the same camp When transferring from non-housing to housing the additional housing upgrade fee will apply If the new camp is less expensive you will receive a refund.
All transfers can be completed by emailing sportscamps@sandiego.edu. Transfers will be granted on a space-available basis only.
Roommate requests should be made at the time of registration. After your registration is complete, you will no longer be able to make or change roommate requests on your online account. In order to make or change a roommate request, please send an email to sportscamps@sandiego.edu to make that request. Requesting a roommate will not ensure that the person you request will obtain a spot in the camp; they must register for the camp while there is still space available.
Campers participating in resident camps will stay in USD Residence Halls. The cost includes housing and meals for the duration of camp. Please check the respective camp’s page to find out which meals will be provided for non-resident participants. Bedding and linens are not provided so each camper should bring a sleeping bag or sheets and blankets, and a pillow. Participants will be liable for any damage they cause to university property, equipment or facilities.
Roommates are assigned two to a room by preference or by age. No exceptions will be made to this policy. Overnight counselors are provided on each floor. Lights must be out by 10:00 p.m. Housing and meal cards must stay with the camper at all times. USD Conference Services charges $40 for lost keys!
For housing participants only: When resident camp participants are not in evening training sessions, they enjoy structured activities under the direction of their overnight counselors. These activities provide an opportunity for social interaction and fun. Free time may be used to relax, become acquainted with the campus and get to know other participants.
Under the direction of USD's athletic training program, experienced trainers will be present to take preventive action and to provide emergency care during the sports camps.
For minor illnesses, participants may choose to remain in their residence hall rooms or at home. Counselors/coaches must be notified in such cases. Parents of participants with a serious illness will be notified for discussion on the course of action. If parents or guardians cannot be reached, the sick participant may be taken to the hospital for treatment.
For serious injuries, participants will be taken to a local urgent care or emergency room. It is the camp participant’s responsibility to follow the trainers’ instructions. Our office must have on file a medical release form that is included in the online registration process.
We are excited for another year of sports camps at USD. We are striving to improve every year to offer your camper an invaluable camp experience.The level and individual development of each camper is taken into consideration when coaches form training groups. Each coach personally selects and trains a coaching staff of outside coaches and outstanding collegiate athletes. We look forward to seeing you at camp!
Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions, comments, or concerns. We are always looking to improve.

Yes, on the online registration form there is an option to request a roommate. Campers are housed two to a room. We cannot put more than 2 campers in one room. You can request your camper is housed adjacent to another pair of campers, if there are 3 friends that want to room together. If no roommate preference is indicated, campers are assigned by age.
We prefer that campers not leave campus during their camp experience. Should a camper have to leave campus for any reason, parents must check their camper out with the camp head coach. If someone other than the parent will be taking a camper off campus, parents must state that the designated individual is authorized by parents or legal guardian to take the camper off campus. Before leaving USD, parent or designated individual must sign camper out with the coach of his/her camp.
Parents are required to sign campers 8th grade and under in and out of camp DAILY and must present photo ID. If you are unable to pick up your child you will need to fill out a camper pick-up form designating another person that is allowed to pick up your child. Counselors will have this form (filled out by you) with individuals authorized to pick-up one's child. If a person is not listed the camp staff is unable to release the child. Authorized individuals must have a photo ID in order to sign out camps.
In case of an emergency, the University will contact the parent immediately. If the parent/guardian cannot be reached, the University has authorization for emergency medical care granted on the Medical Form. If the medical staff determines that a camper is unable to participate in activities, parents must make arrangements to have their camper return home.
Campers should not need additional money during camp. There is a small grocery store on campus if they would like to get snacks for their room.
We do not offer scholarships for our camps.
Some of our camps offer discounts for USD Alumni, USD Employees, and Military. Please call or e-mail the camps office to verify which camps are eligible for discounts prior to registering.
