Summer 2026 New England Residential Camp at Bentley University

Bentley University is hosting a three-day, two-night residential ID camp for women's soccer from July 6–8, 2026, in Waltham, Massachusetts. The camp brings together players for college-level training sessions, full-sided matches, and direct interaction with coaches from Division 1, 2, 3, and NAIA programs. The format includes goalkeeper-specific training, recruiting panel sessions, and meals. Cost ranges from $525 to $675.

This camp is designed as a broad-exposure event for players exploring options across multiple college divisions. The multi-division structure means you'll see coaches from programs at different competitive and academic levels, making it useful for families still determining realistic fit—whether that's elite D1, competitive D2, selective D3, or NAIA schools. The residential overnight format creates more informal opportunities to speak with coaches than a typical day camp would offer. There are no stated age or graduation-year limits, so the camp may attract players across a range of recruiting timelines.

The overnight residential format is the main differentiator here. Two nights on campus give players extended exposure to coaching staff in training and social settings, which can lead to more substantive conversations than a single-day session allows. That said, the head coach at Bentley does not attend, meaning the evaluation is handled by assistant staff rather than the program's top decision-maker. The cost of $525–$675 is at the higher end for multi-division showcases; families should weigh that price against the value of the residential experience and exposure to four different division levels. No player reviews are currently available to speak to the camp's execution or coaching quality.

This camp works best for players with a genuine interest in exploring multiple division levels and families who value the residential experience and informal coach contact that comes with it. If you're narrowly focused on D1 recruiting and need the head coach's direct attention, or if you're budget-conscious and prefer lower-cost day camps, this event may not be your best use of resources.
