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 web page for detailed 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 ensure 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 online registration process as normal. Doing so will automatically add your camper to the waitlist if the camp session is full.

If being added to the waitlist, you will NOT be charged when completing the online registration process.

If let in the off the waitlist, you will receive an email from badgercamps@athletics.wisc.edu with instructions regarding completing registration.

The tax ID number for Badger Sports Camps is 39-1805963.

Online registration closes at least 24 hours prior to the beginning of each camp session. Please note, registration deadlines may be earlier for certain sessions. This will allow our staff to finalize rosters and review medical information in preparation of providing a safe and enjoyable camp experience for all campers.

In most cases, camp confirmation packets are sent via email to camp participants approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the program start date.

Oftentimes, camp confirmation packets are available online a few weeks before they are emailed to participants. Please select our "SPORTS CAMPS" tab, and then view the specific sport programming your camper will be attending. If available, a blue "INFO PACKET" button will appear.

Parents are welcome to attend all camp sessions. If you need to remove your child for any reason, please notify the Camp Administrator.

If you need our assistance in contacting your child during camp in the case of an emergency, please call the numbers below in the order in which they are listed: 1. Camp Administrator as indicated in your camp confirmation packet or other camp information,  2. Badger Sports Camps 608-263-1799 or 608-265-1470., or 3. Director of Camp Administration 608-512-7059.

Room and board costs are included in the camp fees. Various camps sell athletic apparel or other merchandise. If campers wish to participate in these activities, additional funds are needed.

Parents, guardians, campers and other spectators are not permitted to film any camp activities. 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. Campers may take pictures of camp staff and other campers (with their consent) at the conclusion of a camp. The inappropriate use of cell phones, cameras, imaging and other digital devices is prohibited in showers, restrooms, changing room or other areas where privacy is expected by participants.

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.

If you are interested in ordering a parking permit, please see our recommended parking packet (linked here). Instructions for purchasing a daily permit can be found on page 3. 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.

Dane County Regional Airport is located in Madison about 10 miles from campus. General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee is located about 60 miles from campus. O'Hare International Airport in Chicago is located about 90 miles from campus. 

A packet including parking information can be found here.

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.

Although we do our best to pair roommates together based on gender and age, please understand that numbers do not always work out. If your child comes to Camp without a roommate request, there is a possibility they will be in a single dorm room.

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

University Housing will provide all overnight participants with a linen pack (including a pillow, pillow case, fitted sheet, top sheet, and a blanket). Particiapnts are welcome to bring their own if they prefer.

We can accommodate up to two campers per dorm room. If your camper is attending with a group, please email badgercamps@athletics.wisc.edu with your group members names. While not guaranteed, we will place a request that all members from your group are roomed near one another in the residence hall.

University Housing residence halls provide student-style housing conveniently located on campus near camps.

Each dorm room includes air conditioning, wireless internet, cable television connections (via personal electronic device), and shared bathroom facilities. Each dorm includes a floor lounge with televisions, tables, and chairs. Laundry and vending machines are located within most residence halls.

All campers are expected to conduct themselves in a manner conducive to learning. Any misconduct will result in immediate dismissal and forfeiture of fees.

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.
