Summer ID Camp 3

Columbia University is hosting a two-day men's soccer ID camp on July 25–26, 2026, in New York. This is a Division 1 recruiting event run by an Ivy League program. The camp is day-only, meaning attendees will commute to campus each day rather than stay overnight. No specific cost information is listed on the camp details.

This camp is designed for male high school soccer players seriously considering Division 1 college soccer and interested in exploring fit at an academically rigorous Ivy program. Columbia competes in a highly competitive conference and draws recruits with both strong soccer ability and academic credentials. The most-selective academic tier signals that the university weighs GPA and test scores heavily in admissions; families should understand that athletic recruitment at Columbia is subject to academic thresholds, and a strong soccer performance at camp alone will not override transcript concerns. High school players considering Columbia should have realistic D1 ambitions and solid academic standing.

The head coach does not attend this camp, which is an important detail. This means the coaching staff present will be assistants or volunteer coaches conducting evaluations, not the head coach making first-hand assessments. The two-day format provides more on-field time and evaluation depth than a single-day clinic, allowing staff to observe players across multiple sessions and settings. Because this is an Ivy League ID camp, competition will likely be intense, and roster spots are limited. No prior camp reviews are available to reference. Families should come prepared with realistic expectations about Ivy League recruiting timelines and the academic-athletic balance these programs require.

This camp makes sense for players with genuine Division 1 aspirations who are also academically strong and interested in an elite academic institution. Families exploring other D1 conferences or less academically selective programs may find better value elsewhere. If you're a good fit and interested in Columbia, register early, since no deadline is posted but two-day camps typically fill in advance.
