Princeton Boys Soccer College Prep Camp 2

Princeton University is hosting a two-day men's Division I ID camp on August 1–2, 2026, at Plummer Field in Princeton, New Jersey. The camp is a day program (not overnight) and costs $330. It is the second session of Princeton's college prep camp, run by the Princeton men's soccer staff alongside guest college coaches. The format includes competitive training and full-sided matches designed to evaluate recruits in game conditions.

This camp is for high school boys, ages 15–18, with realistic D1 recruiting ambitions and strong technical ability. Princeton is a highly selective academic institution with a strong Division I program, so the talent bar is high and the pool will be competitive. The camp does not have explicit grade-year boundaries in the listing, but the age range (15–18) spans roughly rising sophomore through senior classes. Families should view this as an active recruiting evaluation, not a general skills clinic. The program tier and academic selectivity mean that roster spots are limited and competition for coach attention will be intense.

The head coach's attendance is a key detail: it signals that the Princeton staff is actively evaluating, not simply running a revenue-generating clinic. Two days of training and matches give you more film and decision-making time than a single-day session. The day-camp format means less informal coach contact than an overnight event, so preparation and performance on the field are your primary windows. At $330, the cost is moderate for a two-day Division I camp at an Ivy League school. Princeton's most-selective academic tier is also part of the evaluation lens—the school prioritizes student-athletes who can handle the academic load, so recruiting families should understand that grades and test scores are not separate from the soccer evaluation.

This camp makes sense for recruits who are seriously considering Ivy League options and have the technical foundation to compete at Princeton's level. If you are a younger recruit (rising 9th or 10th grader) exploring the D1 landscape or testing your level, this is a legitimate venue. If you are a junior or senior who already has strong D1 interest from other programs, weigh whether a two-day day camp (without overnight access to coaches) gives you enough return relative to the cost and travel. No registration deadline is listed, so monitor Princeton's website for updates as the camp date approaches.
