Clemson University Sport Camps - Over the summer you can find almost any sport camp you're looking for at Clemson University. They offer football, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball, swimming and track and field. Since there are so many camps offered I'd suggest going to http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/camps/clem-camps.html to view all the details if interested. Camps start as early as June 5th and some of them run through the end of July.

Camp Odyssey - This camp is offered July 11-17th. This camp is for children ages 6-12. The cost is $480, but discounts are given for multiple children. Camp Odyssey has trained staff that provide 24 hour supervision. They maintain a 1:3 camper ratio in the cabins and a 1:4 ratio at activities. I have a six year old son and this camp looks like a lot of fun! For more information please see the following link http://www.clemson.edu/centers-institutes/outdoor-lab/camps/camp-odyssey.html
