Summer ID Camp 2

Columbia University's Summer ID Camp 2 is a two-day men's soccer ID camp held July 11–12, 2026, in New York City. The camp is hosted by the Division 1 program and operates as a day camp (no overnight component). This is a recruiting-focused event designed to give the coaching staff a chance to evaluate players in a competitive setting.

This camp fits recruits with realistic D1 ambitions who are also serious about academic rigor. Columbia competes at the highest division level, and the school's most-selective academic tier means that roster consideration here depends on both soccer ability and strong academic credentials. The camp likely draws players from a broad age range, though specific grade-year bounds are not published. If you're a high school player exploring whether you fit a Ivy-adjacent D1 profile—strong soccer with equally strong academics—this event is worth your consideration.

Recruits should know that the head coach does not attend this camp, which means evaluation will be conducted by assistant staff rather than the top decision-maker. That said, it's still a direct recruiting event hosted by a D1 program, so performance will be on record. The two-day format gives more film time and repetition than a single-day clinic, allowing coaches to assess consistency across multiple sessions. No cost or age range is listed publicly, so confirm those details directly with the program before committing. There are no prior camp reviews on file.

This camp makes sense for players who see themselves as potential D1-Ivy fits and who want direct exposure to Columbia's coaching staff. Pass if you're exploring lower divisions or if you're not yet ready for a serious, high-academic-standard recruiting environment.
