IMG Academy's campus is reopening on June 28 for summer camp. The top-ranked powerhouse has one of the nation's toughest schedules lined up.

Some notable names on the slate include No. 4 St. Frances Academy (Baltimore), No. 14 Northwestern (Miami), No. 18 Good Counsel (Olney, Md.), No. 19 St. John's (Washington, D.C.), Dutch Fork (Irmo, S.C.) and Catholic (Baton Rouge, La.).
