Nike Tennis Camp at Earlham College

2023 CAMP DATES

CAMP PROGRAMS

We offer Full Day and Overnight Camp options for campers of all skill levels and ages 8-18.

All sessions are open to players of all abilities unless otherwise noted. All participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. There will be a 1.5-hour evaluation session after check-in. Campers will then be sorted by ability first, then age. Adjustments will be made as needed during camp.

• All Skills Program: The All Skills program is designed for tennis players of any skill level and background. Campers will learn fundamentals and improve upon their game.
