Camp Overview

Improve your game and have serious fun
at Nike Softball Camps

Nike Softball Camps is excited to return to University of Puget Sound in 2026! Register today and enjoy elite-level training while making memories to last a lifetime. The camp offers a unique opportunity to train under the direction of passionate coaches and current and former collegiate athletes who serve as counselors. The camp is open to athletes ages 10-17.

Overnight Camp

Our overnight camp at Puget Sound offers an immersive, on-campus experience where campers reside in the dormitories in adjacent rooms to the camp staff while training during the daytime hours. The tuition includes housing, meals, fun evening activities, as well as college recruiting seminars on Tuesday evening (parents are encouraged to attend the seminars!).

Day Camp (9:00am – 4:00pm)

Nike Softball Camps also offers a summer day camp program for athletes who do not wish to stay overnight. This program runs 9:00am-4:00pm each day and includes daytime training only. Campers can bring their own lunch or purchase on campus.

Nike Sports Camp Experience

At University of Puget Sound, Nike Sports Camps offers a unique experience with many sports (Baseball, Cross Country, Soccer, Softball, Swim, 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.

Softball Facilities/Transportation

The camp utilizes a combination of the University of Puget Sound Softball Field (Session #1) and Bellarmine Preparatory School’s Softball Field (Session #2). Bellarmine is a very short drive from campus and has a great softball facility. The 2026 athletic facilities will be confirmed in the spring.

The Nike Softball Camp at University of Puget Sound is open to any and all entrants and limited only by number, age and gender. Athletic facilities and coaches are subject to change. The camp is not owned, sponsored, controlled or endorsed by University of Puget Sound.

Highlights Include

  • Instruction from passionate coaches and current and former student athletes
  • Low camper to coach ratio
  • Morning and afternoon training sessions each day
  • Fun field games and other evening activities (overnight program only)
  • Panel-style evening seminars covering important topics within collegiate athletics (all campers are invited!)

    During the 2023 season, Smith guided a young staff of six pitchers to a 19-19 record with a team ERA of 4.59 (fifth in program history). Lewis & Clark's staff tied the program record with four saves and posted the second-most shutouts in a single-season (five) and third-most strikeouts (150). The Pioneers saw four pitchers throw 40 innings or more, with three of those pitchers being in their first collegiate season.

    Smith played collegiately at Division I Seattle University (BA) and the University of Utah (MA). At Seattle University, she competed in 111 games, while holding the school record for strikeouts per seven innings (7.45), opponent batting average (.231), and highest number of strikeouts in a game (15).

    Sam Silver joins the Bushnell softball coaching staff for the 2025 season. Silver had a spectacular career as a player for the Beacons on and off the field. As a pitcher, she finished her career ranked in the top-ten all-time in nine different categories and ranks fifth all-time for wins in program history. In 2023, Silver was named the winner of the NAIA's Dr. Leroy Walker Champion of Character Award, one of the organization's highest annual honors.
