If you have a belief and an attitude to become YOUR BEST in every aspect of your life, the Dabo Swinney Football Camp has the perfect culture for you to begin your journey and chase your dreams.

The football camp is designed to provide each individual camper a solid foundation of basic football fundamentals necessary to excel at their specific position. This is a non-contact, no pads or helmet, skill teaching camp.

You will be provided elite instruction by the premier staff & players in all of college football. Each camper will be inspired and coached by the Clemson Tiger coaching staff, support staff, current Clemson players, and other highly qualified guest college coaches.

You will be exposed to our “Why” and learn how we are able to have results such as these on the field:

• Clemson was one of only two programs to win at least 150 games since 2011.
