Summer 2026 New England Residential Camp at Bentley University

ID Sports USA's New England Girls Residential Camp is a three-day identification event held July 6–8, 2026, at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The camp is open to girls ages 13–18 and attracts coaches from programs across multiple NCAA divisions, including Dartmouth, UMass Amherst, University of Rhode Island, Wellesley, Endicott, and Franklin Pierce. Participants can choose between residential (overnight) or commuter options. Cost ranges from $499 to $675 depending on housing.

This camp serves a broad recruiting audience. The division mix and age span—incoming 8th through 12th graders—means the event is designed to capture early-exposure players alongside older recruits actively pursuing offers. If you're a rising 8th or 9th grader, this is an early-development opportunity; if you're a junior or senior, it's a chance to be seen by a geographically relevant mix of Division I, II, and III programs. The diversity of divisions represented suggests no single program tier dominates, so families should research the specific schools attending to assess fit with their recruit's target division and academic profile.

The overnight format is worth the cost premium if evaluation matters to you. Residential camps create informal evaluation windows—meals, team activities, evening sessions—where coaches observe personality, coachability, and fit beyond the 90-minute field session. However, note that the head coach from the host institution does not attend this camp, so evaluation is handled by assistant coaches and visiting programs rather than top-level staff. The $499–$675 price tag is at the higher end for multi-day camps; families should weigh that against the residential experience and the chance to be seen by multiple programs in one trip. No reviews are available yet, so firsthand feedback on instruction quality or coaching conduct isn't yet in the public record.

This camp makes sense for families with a recruit exploring options across divisions or geography, and who value the efficiency and informal contact of an overnight event. It's less ideal if your recruit is targeting a single D1 program and needs head-coach-level attention, or if budget is a tight constraint. Families interested in attending should confirm the registration deadline directly, as it is not yet listed.
