The camp is coed and open to athletes ages 10-17.

OVERNIGHT CAMP

Our overnight camp in Bend offers an immersive, on-campus experience where campers reside in the campus dormitories in adjacent rooms to the coaching staff while training during the daytime hours. The tuition includes all training, lodging, meals, fun evening activities, and more.

Overnight campers will stay in the Wickiup Hall dormitories at Central Oregon Community College. COCC has a beautiful campus located on Awbrey Butte in Westside Bend which offers sweeping views of the Cascades. The campus has large, nice dorms built in 2015 and expansive athletic spaces for evening activities.

NIKE SPORTS CAMP EXPERIENCE

Nike Sports Camps offers a unique experience in Bend with many sports - Baseball, Cross Country, Golf, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, and Track & Field - operating simultaneously. During the day, the athletes receive sport-specific coaching within their sport focus. In the evening, overnight campers across all sports come together for a special camp-wide experience which includes fun field games, educational seminars, and more.

Widgi Creek Golf Club

It isn’t enough that we think Widgi Creek offers some of the best golf in a region saturated with excellent and well-reviewed golf courses. What matters is that the people who play Widgi Creek feel the same way. That’s why we’re proud that Widgi Creek has been voted Central Oregon's favorite public golf course over 20 times by the readers of The Source. Golf Digest rates us annually among its “”Best Places to Play,”” and in 1995 the course was named among the best “”new courses”” of the year. Widgi Creek is unlike any other golf course in the area; tree-lined, narrow fairways and undulating greens, protect against its shorter length. Come put your game to the test.
