  1. CAMP & CAMPERS

    Questions about the types of camps and campers

    Q.1 What type of campers attend camp ?

    Our tennis camps are designed to teach the technical basics and love of the game to the beginning player, to introduce strategical decision making to the intermediate player, while building on their current stroke production, and to put the advanced player into pressured, strategical and competitive situations.

    Q.2 What are the main differences between the traditional tennis camp and the "Match Play" week ?

    The primary four one-week sessions focus more on the technical side of the game. Advanced players will be pushed in the areas of strategy and point progression, however, more emphasis will be placed on stroke production. The "Match Play" camp is designed for more advanced players and will focus more on the strategical side of the game. Point play progressions, competitive match play and situational work will be the focus of this camp.

    Q.3 What is the ratio of staff to campers ?

    Groups will be divided into small groups of five campers to one coach (tennis). Primarily the ratio of camper to staff is 5:1 (tennis)

  2. LIFE AT CAMP

    Once on campus / campus life.

    Q.1 What type of supervision is provided and will my child be safe?

    All activities both on and off the courts are supervised by mature and responsible staff members. Safety is a top priority throughout the week. With more than 20 years experience running sports camps, we have developed detailed rules and regulations in order to provide a safe atmosphere at the camp. No one is allowed to leave campus or leave their group during camp. Supervision in the residence halls at night ensures the campers are getting adequate rest. In addition, campus security is present at all times.

    Q.2 What do the campers do with their spare time ?

    What little spare time the campers do have is filled. In addition to the daytime activities such as swimming, bowling, etc..., the campers have evening activities each night. This includes Ice Cream socials, Pizza nights, Movie nights, Game room night, Talent show, and Casino night.

    Q.3 What are the living arrangements ?

    Players stay in the schools residence halls. The students are typically housed 2 to a room (although in certain circumstances triples are available). Special arrangements can be made to have multiple rooms next to each other if requested. We will make every effort to meet your requests.

    Q.1 What are the Check-in and Check-out times ?

    Check-in is between 1:00 - 2:00 on the Sunday of the start of camp (for college of wooster tennis camps) and Check-out is between 4:00 -5:00 on the Thursday of the end of the camp (Residential camps). Both check-in and check-out is handled in the camp residence hall.

    Q.2 When is payment due ?

    A $200 non-refundable deposit is due upon registration of the student. The balance can be paid at this time, at a later date online (if you signed up online) or mailed in prior to the camp, however, no camper will be allowed to participate without paying the balance. In addition, if paying during the sign in (the Sunday of camp) only check and cash will be accepted. NO CREDIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED at this point.

    Q.3 What happens if we need to cancel?

    If you have to cancel, for any reason, you will be refunded all of the monies paid, with the exception of the $200 non-refundable deposit. All camp refunds will be made by check and sent out within 7 days of the close of camp. No refunds will be paid for cancellations after 10 days prior to the start of camp. Campers who leave camp during their session, will not be eligible for any refunds.
