The BYU GIRLdad Camp provides a great opportunity for fathers to build and strengthen relationships with their daughters. The main focus of this camp is to inspire and empower girls. Come interact and learn from some of BYU’s best coaches including 2020 and 2024 NCAA Cross Country National Champion Coach Diljeet Taylor and first-year Women's Basketball Coach Lee Cummard.
Check-in begins on Friday afternoon and consists of 3 days of sports, bonding, great food, interaction with BYU coaches and players, and spiritual experiences. You will go with your daughter from station to station for a wide variety of sports and activities including basketball, volleyball, and get to know your daughter games. Attendees will leave with a BYU GIRLdad camp t-shirt and a Believe Journal. You may even be lucky and win one of the awesome prizes we give throughout camp.
The highlight of the camp is Sunday with a sacrament meeting in the morning, followed by a catered lunch, a special fireside and concludes at 2 P.M.
Come experience all that BYU has to offer. We look forward to seeing you.
While on-campus housing is not provided for this camp, we will partner with several local hotels to provide discounted rates during GIRLdad Camp. Please book any hotel stays at least one month prior to camp to secure a spot before beds are released by the hotel to the public. Check back soon for more information!

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. Dress standards such as knee-length shorts and shirts with sleeves are enforced in other areas of campus and camp participants should be prepared to change into the appropriate attire as required.
The following are the responsibilities of each participant: Maintain respectful attitudes toward coaches, counselors, and all other individuals; demonstrate proper use of university equipment and facilities; attend camp sessions and activities; follow instructions; respect curfews; dress modestly; refrain from vulgar and profane language; and come prepared to observe the BYU Honor Code. While cell phones are permitted at camp, participants are required to be respectful in their use of cell phones.
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.
Due to safety and liability concerns, any participant found in or entering campus construction areas will be subject to immediate dismissal.
Camp participants will eat at the all-you-can-eat cafeteria on Friday. BYU dress and grooming standards
are strictly enforced in the cafeteria; therefore, please remember to bring pants, sweats, or knee-
length shorts to wear at mealtimes. Flip-flops, slippers, swimsuits, and tank tops are not permitted in
the cafeteria.
Participants should be aware of the following rules and precautions:
➢ Do not leave equipment unattended, except in designated secure locations.
➢ Do not walk alone on campus or leave campus unattended (without a counselor, coach, or other camp staff member).
➢ Write your name clearly on all items you will be bringing to camp.
Brigham Young University is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
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.
