According to the program’s mission statement, Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps is where learning is organized, fun is emphasized, and safety is prioritized. The camps are coed for ages 10–18 and are open to any and all players, with kids grouped by skill, age, and experience, and groups that often change during the week. The program offers small group sizes, personalized attention, advanced teaching techniques, and a curriculum that includes repetition, ball-feeding drills, live-ball situations, and competitive match play, including preparation for middle school, high school, or USTA team tennis and USTA leagues or tournaments. Traditional camps emphasize stroke production and swing fundamentals, while Elite Training Camps offer high-intensity sessions with advanced drills, strategy, point construction, and a more intense training experience, and UTR Showcase camps combine intensive instruction with UTR-rated match play opportunities.
Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps states that safety is prioritized on and off the court, and that camp safety is the number one priority, with safety prioritized over tennis and activities when necessary. The camp will be held rain or shine each day and does not offer swimming as an option. The program includes a camp demo program with the latest Wilson rackets, a Wilson raffle with prizes for all campers, and a pizza party on Thursday for all campers. Each camper must bring a completed and signed medical form to check-in on the first day of camp, and a physical exam is not required. If a camper needs medical or disability accommodations, including significant food allergies that require special meals, the office should be emailed. The camp notes that Wilson Sporting Goods, Premier Sports Camps, its coaches, and universities are not responsible for personal items brought to camp.
Day campers are instructed to bring a tennis racket, tennis shoes, sunscreen, a hat or visor, a water bottle, a signed medical form, and a signed liability form if it was not completed online during registration. Campers should pack a lunch on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and lunch is not provided on Friday due to the early pick-up time. The broader Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps program is hosted on premier college campuses nationwide, is directed by collegiate coaches, and is described as offering well-rounded days with a comprehensive curriculum that progresses through the week, blending structured learning, a fun environment, and safety-first training.
Parent testimonials report that coaching staff are friendly, connect well with kids, and handle a spread of abilities. Parents note that instructors are attentive, provide individual feedback, and that every session has a deliberate focus rather than unstructured play. One parent reports that a beginner camper learned a lot and enjoyed the camp, and another notes that their daughter enjoyed the camp enough to request staying in tennis camp for the whole summer. Other parents mention that their children are tired at the end of the day, that coaches are engaging and teach skills the campers can use, and that the hours work well for working parents. Testimonials from other Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps locations mention positive experiences training with college players, exposure to a college tennis environment, and campers returning for multiple summers because they enjoy playing tennis all day, games, making friends, and the coaching and instruction.
