Summer ID 2

Summer ID 2 is a two-day men's ID camp hosted by the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio on July 18–19, 2026. The camp runs Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day and is a day-camp format (no overnight housing). Registration costs between $135 and $240. The camp explicitly welcomes high school freshmen through seniors and junior college freshmen and sophomores.

This camp is designed for a wide age and eligibility range, which suggests it functions as a broad exposure event rather than a selective recruiting filter. The Dayton men's program competes in NCAA Division II, a mid-tier program, and the camp's low age floor (high school freshmen) indicates it serves as an entry point for early-stage recruits as much as upperclassmen pursuing offers. Families exploring Division II fit, particularly those interested in a private religious institution of medium size, will find relevant exposure here. The moderate academic tier suggests Dayton considers academics in its review but isn't in the most selective bracket.

Recruits should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means the coaching staff present will be assistants or position-specific evaluators rather than the decision-maker on your application. The two-day format with four-and-a-half hours per day (nine hours total) gives more time for extended observation than a single afternoon session, though still compressed compared to overnight camps. The camp's broad age range—freshmen through junior college—means coaching staff will be managing a mixed developmental level. At this price point, the investment is moderate and worth considering if your son is genuinely curious about Division II options and Dayton's specific program. No reviews are yet available for this camp.

This camp works best for high school freshmen and sophomores beginning to explore college soccer options, or upperclassmen seriously interested in Division II fit without inflated D1 expectations. Families should not view this as a high-intensity recruiting showcase; it's a chance to see the program and get on film in a lower-pressure environment. If your recruit is pursuing Power Five schools or has FBS aspirations, this event alone won't serve those goals. There is no registration deadline listed, so interested families should monitor the camp's registration page for cut-off dates as summer approaches.
