Some camps offer early registration and group discounts. Please read your specific camp web page for detailed information.

Parents, guardians and other spectators may take photographs during camp provided that: (1) they remain in the public spectator areas; (2) the photography does not interfere with camp activities; (3) they cease taking pictures if requested by a member of the camp staff; and (4) photographs of campers are only taken with their consent.

Many of our summer camps offer two enrollment options for campers - overnight and commuter. 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 Division of Intercollegiate Athletics sponsors all Badger Sports Camps. Licensing authority for all precollege programs and youth camps at UW-Madison is governed by University Health Services (UHS).

We discourage campers from bringing their own vehicles to camp. All vehicles parked on campus require a parking permit which must be obtained by the camper.

To ensure availability, it is highly recommended interested campers purchase a value permit at least 2 weeks out from the camp start date.

For the protection of our campers, camp participants who drive themselves to camp must turn in all keys to the Camp Director at check-in. Keys will be returned at checkout.

Campers are encouraged to have their own health insurance as limited accident insurance is provided by the University. The camp provides limited accident insurance, which is primary up to $10,000.

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. This information must be completed at least 24 hours prior to participation in any of our Badger Sports Camps

When you go through the check-in process, all campers stop at the Health Services table, this is where you should discuss your child’s medications and how the staff should handle them.

MEALS - Meals are included in the registration fee for all overnight camps. Please note, meals are not always provided for day camps. Please select our "SPORTS CAMPS" tab, and reference the specific camp your participant will be attending. Each camp will have details as to whether or not meals are provided during camp programming; and if so, which meals are included.

SNACKS - Snacks are not provided at camp. Campers are welcome to bring their own snacks for between meals or for during break periods.

Housing assignments are not done until the night before camp. When you arrive at check-in you will receive your housing assignment and can ask who your roommate will be.

Campers may request a specific roommate as part of the online registration process. For  those who do not request a specific roommate during the registration process, roommates will be assigned by the Camp Administrator. Please contact them for further information.

All overnight camps can accommodate up to two campers per dorm room.

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.
