  • Season 2025
    Working with the pros at Wild Dunes was great. I know they helped improve my game and I would consider returning for another session.
  • Season 2025
    Excellent coaches. And enough of them to go around so you always felt like you were getting instruction. Drills they selected were great.
  • Season 2024
    March 2024: The instructors were fantastic. They were engaged with the campers and active participants in the drills. The camp director was a great communicator - explained concepts clearly, demonstrated the concept and then summarized to reinforce the point. Great job of explaining why a drill was important. Good mix of strategy and technique. All of the other pros were extremely engaged and actively participated in drills and delivered real time feedback. Extremely encouraging atmosphere. I had previously attended the Nike Pickleball camp at Hilton Head and the Wild Dunes camp was significantly better. I learned more and the pros were much more engaging.
