Kentuckiana College Camp Tour
2026-05-30 - 2026-06-05
For many students, the process of figuring out which school best fits their needs is an overwhelming and confusing task. Just as you would never purchase a home without visiting in person, students shouldn’t decide on their next four-year home without first stepping on campus and seeing if it is indeed the right fit.

Each June and July, we take a group of student-athletes from around the Kentuckiana region on a tour of college recruiting camps. Our tour has attended camps and made recruiting visits to schools like Ohio State University, University of South Alabama, University of Kentucky, Bowling Green State University, University of Memphis, Auburn University, University of Kentucky, Western Michigan University, University of Tennessee, Vanderbilt University, and others. Our tours have helped numerous football players earn hundreds of scholarship offers.
