Gothic in style and dominated by the soaring 210–foot tower of Duke Chapel, the beautiful campus of Duke University is a premier site for a Nike Tennis Camp.

In its second year, the Nike Tennis Camps at Duke have expanded their offering to include four weeks of camp designed for both general skill players as well as high school players looking to move up the ladder or make their high school team. Come individually or come with your teammates . . . this is a great opportunity to improve your technique and match play skills while having fun with kids your own age.

The campus facilities include twelve outdoor courts and six indoor courts. Campers will stay in the fine dorms located in one of the quads on west campus, walking distance from the courts and the dining facilities.

Program Information
Campers can choose between overnight and day camp (8:30am-4:30pm) options. Lunch is included for day campers. Overnight campers will participate in off-court activities including: movie night, pizza night, field games and more.
