NIKE is not just any other brand… NIKE is a whole way of thinking. NIKE Tennis Camps set the bar high when it comes to all aspects of tennis camp: from teaching methods & hiring staff to the registration process and check in procedures. Being a part of NIKE Tennis Camps gives us the opportunity to meet with other Tennis Camp Directors and bring together innovative ideas on how to make our camp #1!

We recognized that tennis requires self-discipline and a great deal of well-grooved technique for full enjoyment. Tennis can become a way of life for the person who is willing to subject himself to this demand for knowledge and discipline. But tennis should be fun and rewarding. It can be learned in a short period of time if the instruction is conducted properly and the student pursues the sport with enthusiasm. Therefore, our tennis program is designed and operated as an intensive educational tennis camp.

More than Tennis/  A well-rounded Sports Camp Experience:

In addition to the amazing tennis experience, we offer our campers a great opportunity to escape the courts and have some fun in the evenings.  Each week we offer a variety of off-court activities (both on and off campus, some of which may incur an additional fee for ticket purchases) which campers can choose from prior to camp.  Off court activities include, but are not limited to: World Team Tennis matches, trips to Boston, Six Flags, Water Country, lazer tag...and much more!  To see a full list of Activities please visit the  "NonSports Hours/ Field Trips" link.

Over three quarters of our enrollment is comprised of sleepover students. All meals, lodging, formal tennis instruction and leisure time activities are provided for our campers.  The Sleepover program runs from Sunday to Friday.

This program will be offered to players who live or will be staying off-campus and within commuting distance to Stonehill College. We recommend multi-week sessions but will also accept commuters as one-week campers. Day students will report Sunday, 2:00pm for testing. Group lessons will be taught Monday through Thursday, followed by a tournament Friday morning. Day campers will be provided with lunch at our school dining room.  Day Campers are picked up at 5pm, Extended Day Campers are picked up around 9pm (or after the Evening Activity).  See the Dates and Pricing Page for a full description.

What if it RAINS?  In case of rain, a small portion of the campers will rotate to the indoor facility.  Other campers will go to strategy sessions, mental toughness exercises and conditioning.
