Emory University Summer Elite ID Camp

Emory University's Summer Elite ID Camp is a three-day men's soccer ID camp held June 19–21, 2026, on the Emory University campus in Atlanta. It runs as a day camp and costs between $250 and $350. The camp targets rising 9th–12th graders ages 14–18 and is hosted by one of the country's stronger Division III programs.

This camp is designed for recruits serious about D3 soccer who are exploring academic fit alongside athletic development. Emory competes at a high level within Division III, and the private, most-selective academic profile means the school is genuinely evaluating both soccer ability and academic credentials. If you're looking at D3 options and want exposure to a well-resourced program that takes academics as seriously as athletics, this camp fits that search. Families considering schools in the selective liberal-arts and research-university tier will find the academic match relevant here.

The head coach's presence on the field signals that the staff is actively evaluating attendees, not simply collecting fees. A three-day format gives more repetition and observation time than a one-day clinic, though the day-camp structure means less informal coach contact than an overnight event would provide. Budget realistically for the $250–$350 camp fee, transportation to Atlanta, and meals during the three days. Bring current video clips if the camp requests them during registration, and be prepared for a competitive training environment—this is not a beginner or skills-development camp.

This camp makes sense for families who have narrowed their search toward D3 soccer and want to test the waters at a program known for competitive play and academic rigor. If your athlete is a rising 9th or 10th grader primarily looking for exposure and early feedback, this is a good fit. Skip it if you're still exploring whether your child wants to play college soccer at all, or if your budget is tight and you're looking for a lower-cost screening event. No registration deadline is listed; register early to secure a spot.
