Connecticut Boys & Girls Tennis Summer Camp

About Connecticut Tennis Camp
Fairfield University

1073 N Benson Rd, Fairfield, CT 06824

Campers will enjoy Fairfield University’s Walsh Athletic Center Tennis Courts. The facility has 6 outdoor courts that were built and resurfaced for the 2021 men’s and women’s seasons.

In addition, our summer campers have the opportunity to spend free time at the University’s newly renovated Leslie C. Quick RecPlex swimming pool to cool off from the summer afternoon heat. The eight-lane, 25-meter pool features a glass wall behind the diving end of the pool, giving the facility a bright feel. The facility also boasts a whirlpool, sun deck, saunas, and locker rooms.

Camp is open to all ages and ability levels. Each camper will be assessed and grouped with campers of similar age and ability levels. Adjustments to the groups may be made throughout the week to provide campers with opportunities to train with and compete against different players. Drills and games are designed to help each camper learn, improve, and have fun!
