Structured for swimmers with competitive swim experience, the camp offers a unique opportunity to train under the direction of college coaches and current and former collegiate athletes who serve as counselors. The camp is open to swimmers ages 10-17.
Overnight Camp
Our overnight camp at Boise State offers an immersive, on-campus experience for swimmers locally and across the nation. For the duration of the camp, swimmers reside in the beautiful BSU dormitories (just steps from the Boise River) 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 in the evenings (parents are encouraged to attend the seminars!).
Day Camp (9:00am-4:00pm)
Nike Swim Camps also offers a summer day camp program for local swimmers. This program runs 9:00am-4:00pm (schedule varies by day) and includes daytime training only. Campers must bring their own lunch or purchase it on campus.
Nike Sports Camp Experience
At Boise State University, Nike Sports Camps offers a unique experience with many sports (Baseball, Cross Country, Golf, 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.
Swim Complex/Transportation Information
New in 2026! The camp now has access to the Boise State University Aquatics Center on campus for training. The Aquatic Center has a beautiful six-lane lap pool with start blocks and a seventh lane in the rec pool. We may also use Idaho Central Aquatics Center as a backup in specific circumstances. In this case, campers would be transported by bus just a short distance to ICAC.
The Nike Swim Camp at Boise State University 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 Boise State University.
