Full day camp w/ half day option

Colorado College2

One of the most popular tennis camps in Colorado, the Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camp at Colorado College offers 1 week of incredible fun and tennis training. Under the guidance of Asst. Men & Women’s Tennis Coach Ilona Wilson, this camp features full and half-day camp options. Quickly gaining a reputation as a sought-after summer event for all ages, come see why our Colorado Tennis Camp should not be missed!

Throughout the week each camper receives personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and game/match play daily. Campers are broken into small instructional groups with those of similar age, ability, and experience so each child is working in a group that is commensurate with their experience level. We tailor each program to the level of the players.

Action-packed with tennis fun, the Colorado College tennis camp is the highlight of the summer for kids ages 7-18.

CAMP REVIEWS

My kiddos really enjoyed their experience. I think they will return next summer.

Parent of Monroe T.

Both my beginner 11 and intermediate  15 loved the camp.  The coaches were good.  In particular my daughter said Jackson was amazing.   My son said coach Wilson gave him great tips that were new to him.

Parent of Hollis C.

My son was not excited to go to camp, and they made it super fun and changed his attitude! He now wants to continue to play tennis and get better at the sport. I really appreciate the enthusiasm and encouragement the coaches showed to my son. Great camp!

FACILITY

The Burghart Tennis Courts

The Burghart Tennis Courts, located just northwest of the El Pomar Sports Center and adjacent to Washburn Field on the Colorado College campus, provide a home competition site for the Colorado College men’s and women’s tennis teams.

The complex can accommodate as many as six matches at once, with convenient entrances to all courts and easy access to indoor locker rooms. In addition to serving as the home facility for varsity competition, the courts are available for use by the entire campus community.

Named after longtime CC supporters Bob and Yolanda Burghart, who both graduated from the college in the 1920s, the courts were improved and resurfaced during the summer of 2012 as part of the three-phase, $27 million renovations and new construction project reshaping the entire El Pomar Sports Center.
