Held over Memorial Day Weekend, check-in begins on Friday afternoon and is quickly followed by 3 days of sports, laughter, bonding, great food, interaction with BYU coaches and players, and spiritual experiences. You will go with your son from station to station for a wide variety of sports and activities including basketball, soccer, flag football, ultimate frisbee, and baseball.
Saturday evening includes a catered dinner and a myriad of activities around the campus to attend with your son such as bowling, laser tag, a movie, or bounce houses.
Sunday activities feature a sacrament meeting, fireside, and more.
The camp concludes on Monday with an awards ceremony and a final catered lunch.
We look forward to seeing you.

Participants attending BYU Sports Camps must maintain the standards of Brigham Young University (i.e., high standards of honor, integrity, language, and morality; abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and harmful drugs; and modesty in dress). A clean and well-groomed appearance should be maintained. Sport-appropriate performance attire is acceptable during training and practice sessions; tanks/shirts must be worn at all times, including over sports bras.

Phones should not be used during practice or other inappropriate times. Participants must respect the privacy of others, including being courteous while taking photos and recording videos. Capturing photos and videos in restrooms, locker rooms, or other changing areas is prohibited. Failure to comply with these policies and to be respectful of the privacy of others will result in dismissal.

Brigham Young University does not provide medical insurance for sports camps participants. Medical expenses incurred as a result of participating in a BYU sports camp are the responsibility of the family of each camp participant. Participants must carry primary insurance during camp or be self-insured. Expenses for treatment paid by BYU must be reimbursed to the university no later than August 31, 2026.
For minor illnesses, participants may choose to remain at home. Counselors or coaches must be notified in such cases. If medical treatment for a participant is deemed necessary, Brigham Young University will attempt to contact the parent or guardian. In the event the parent/guardian cannot be timely reached, the participant may be transported off-site to receive medical treatment.
Experienced athletic trainers will be on hand to treat injuries that may occur during workouts. For serious injuries, participants may be taken to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Athletes are encouraged to begin strength, flexibility, and nutritional training prior to camp to minimize the risk of injury during camp. It is the camp participant’s responsibility to follow the trainers’ instructions. The information listed above is camp specific.
