About
Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at Denison University offers a Match Play Camp that focuses on advanced strategy and point-building techniques, with mornings spent developing singles strategies, afternoons sharpening doubles tactics, and evenings in team match play sessions with on-court coaching. The Traditional Camp includes three daily tennis sessions with swing production, technique refinement, video analysis, private lessons, daily teaching progressions, intensive drill work, and game and match play, including team match play in singles and doubles.
• Ages: 8–18 years old

The camp offers overnight, commuter, full day, and half day options, with grouping by skill, age, and experience that may change during camp, and small instructional groups. Match Play Camp focuses on strategy and point building rather than swing technique, while the Traditional Camp offers nightly private lessons, a comprehensive instructional program with daily teaching progressions, and the use of the latest Wilson equipment and Wilson prizes. Overnight campers receive all meals from Sunday dinner to Thursday lunch, and commuter campers receive all lunches and dinners from Sunday dinner to Thursday lunch, with no breakfast provided. 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 for campers. Camp safety is stated as the number one priority, and safety is stated as being prioritized over tennis and activities when necessary.
The camp is co-directed by David Schilling, Head Men’s Tennis Coach at Denison University, and the Traditional Camp is directed by Jamie Scott. Schilling enters his sixth season as the Head Men’s Tennis Coach at Denison University in 2025–26 and has been recognized as the Wilson ITA Central Region Coach of the Year in 2022 and as the NCAC Coach of the Year in 2021 and 2024, with Schilling and his staff recognized as NCAC Coaching Staff of the Year. The Denison University camp is described as one of the most respected tennis camps in the nation and is built as an extension of the camp at the College of Wooster, which has hosted thousands of campers over the past 30 years.
Parent comments include reports that the coaching staff is friendly, connects well with kids, and handles a spread of abilities, and that instructors are attentive and provide individual feedback with every session having a deliberate focus. Parents also report that beginners have learned a lot, that the camp provides very good exercise and time well spent, and that some children have asked to stay in tennis camp for the whole summer. Other parents note that their children are tired at the end of the day, that coaches teach skills the children can use to improve their tennis, and that the hours work well for working parents. Additional comments describe positive experiences training with college players, enjoying playing tennis all day along with games, making friends, and signing up for multiple sessions.
Overnight campers are instructed to bring tennis rackets, tennis shoes, a water bottle, tennis clothes, a hat or visor, casual clothes, bath and shower towels, sunscreen, bedding as specified in pre-camp information, toiletries, fans, pillows, snack food, spending money if desired, and signed medical and liability forms if not completed online. Day campers are instructed to bring tennis rackets, tennis shoes, sunscreen, a hat or visor, a water bottle, and signed medical and liability forms if not completed online. The camp notes that it does not offer swimming as an option and that rain backup is available with 4 indoor courts. The camp states that it is open to any and all and only restricted by age, grade, and gender.
