Parent feedback about Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps notes that coaching staff are friendly, connect well with kids, and handle a spread of abilities, and that instructors are attentive and provide individual feedback with each session having a deliberate focus. Parents report that beginners have learned a lot and enjoyed the camp, that the camp offers good exercise and time well spent, and that some campers have chosen to attend tennis camp for the whole summer instead of other camps. Parents also mention that their children are tired at the end of the day, that coaches are engaging and teach skills to improve tennis, and that the hours work well for working parents.
