About
Junior Summer Tennis Camps offers junior summer camps that include match play, game play drills, progressive skill development, and both tactical and technical tennis skill work. Camp activities also include fitness, point-play, strategy, court movement, singles and doubles strategies, and drills to sharpen on-court decision making. Tennis camps are conducted on both indoor and outdoor courts, and participants are asked to be prepared to play on both.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
• Schedule: Junior Summer Camps run for eight weeks from June 23–August 11, 2025, with options including Hot Shots (noon–1 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday), Futures (9 a.m.–noon Monday–Friday), Challengers (9 a.m.–noon Monday–Friday), Aces (1–4 p.m. Monday–Friday), and Premier Academy (1–4 p.m. Monday–Friday).
• Price: Hot Shots costs $40 per week; Futures, Challengers, Aces, and Premier Academy each cost $205 per week or $52 per day, with multi-family-member and multi-week discounts available on full-week registrations.
Camps are offered by level and age so that players are challenged at their own stage of play, with beginner players exposed to the fundamentals of tennis and experienced players focusing on point-play, strategy, fitness, and other components used in competitive match play. The Hot Shots camp uses a softer ball and smaller court. Non-members are welcome to join summer camps, and Gatorade is available on the sidelines throughout camp.
The program is led by certified professional staff who work with players from beginner through elite levels, with leadership that includes Tennis Operations General Manager Chris Ellerson, Head Pro and Adult Development Director Billy Mendler, and Program Coordinator for Member Services Michelle Porterfield. The Lane – Starke Tennis Center, which runs these camps, traces its history back to the Highland Racquet and Riding Club founded in 1966, the creation of the Binghamton Tennis Center in 1983, its sale to Binghamton University in 2022, and its renaming as the Lane – Starke Tennis Center in 2023. The center also notes that Michael Starke is a Hall of Fame member and that the original “Masters” tennis tournament at the hilltop area included players such as Rod Laver, Pancho Gonzales, and Billie Jean King.
