Camp Details and Registration
Whether your child has participated in our Junior Program during the school year or not, we would love to have him/her attend a week (or more!) of our Tennis Camp this summer!

However, if you're unsure, please reach out to our team at juniors@rcwtennis.com. We are happy to discuss the best placement for your child!
Camp Philosophy
Our Summer Camp is designed to offer your child a fantastic experience on the tennis court--providing instruction that is catered to each level and age grouping. However, our philosophy at RCW Athletic Club encourages skill development that goes beyond the tennis court--Social Skills like communication and teamwork, Mental Skills like problem-solving and resourcefulness, and Physical Skills like agility, balance, and speed.
Our Coaches
Our team of coaches are some of the best in the country! They have established themselves in the tennis community and are a wealth of knowledge. All coaches are Certified Teaching Professionals through the USTA or USPTA Organization. In addition, all coaches are CPR/AED certified.
Full week and daily registration options available.
Toddler Camp
for children ages 3 & 4 years old
Our Toddler Tennis Camp is a wonderful option for 3 and 4 year old children! This camp exposes kids to the sport of tennis by teaching them important vocabulary, familiarizing them with the parts of the tennis court, and building the foundation for the basic strokes. In addition to these tennis skills, children will also be engaged in games and activities that improve hand-eye coordination, agility, teamwork, listening skills, and cooperation. Finally, our coaches of Toddler Camp are wonderfully patient and exceptionally engaging for these young players!
Schedule: Monday - Friday 9am-10:15am
Cost: $99/week or $25/day

Our main Summer Tennis Camp is geared for kids ages 5-18 years old. Coaches will divide players based on age/experience in order to provide the best camp experience for each child! Your child's camp experience will be based on his/her level. Our beginner players will learn a great foundation for the sport--learning important technique to give them a strong start. Coaches may incorporate live-ball, and more advanced drills, for our more experienced players. All players will engage in drills and activities that improve hand-eye coordination, agility, speed, and other athletic moves.

Add-on Matchplay
Available Monday-Thursday 1pm-3pm
To enrich your child's camp experience, consider enrolling them in the Add-on Matchplay program. During the afternoons, players will engage in matches and live ball points, vital for fostering their tennis skills--a component often overlooked but crucial for development. Flexible registration means you can include Add-on Matchplay when it works!
Who is eligible? Players (10 years +) must be able to serve and play points in order to participate in the Add-on Matchplay. These players would be the Green Ball Level 3 players, and Yellow Ball Level 2 and above. If you are unsure whether your child would be a good fit for the afternoon matchplay program, please email us at juniors@rcwtennis.com!
*Players should bring a packed lunch.

Our Mini Camps will provide the same, amazing tennis experience as our daytime tennis camps--just in a condensed format. Our coaches will provide a fun, energized environment for these young players!
