Send an email stating the athlete’s name and their intent to attend to NCS Camp Coordinator, Jonathan Watson at 01silversurfer@bellsouth.net immediately and state whether you plan to attend or not. This will help us decide if we have any open spots in the camp. Alternates (#21-25) should also email Jonathan if they would like to attend, so that they can be notified if a spot opens up. The camp has a maximum capacity of 120 athletes (20 per single age group—60 girls and 60 boys).
Once parents of each athlete have emailed Jonathan, complete the online application form below that includes:
- IMX Camp Application

- Consent and Release Statement
- NCS Camp Code of Conduct
- NCS Team Travel Policy

The form must be submitted prior to Thursday, October 10, 2019 or your spot will be forfeited.

Please use the PayPal link on the form to pay the camp fee by the Thursday, October 10, 2019 deadline. The cost of the IMX Camp is $170 per athlete. Please note that camp fee payments are non-refundable. Failure to complete the payment transaction by the deadline will result in the athlete’s spot being offered to the next swimmer on the list.

2020 IMX Camp Application Form
