Full Day and Half Day Camp Options
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA – Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville’s favorite event of the summer, The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps at The University of North Florida, is back again in 2025. A popular Day camp featuring Full and Half Day options, gives campers of all skill levels a chance to get a leg up on their competition this summer. Following back-to-back sold-out sessions in our last summer, The UNF tennis camp again offers two sessions of camp this coming July.
Each camper receives personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and game/match play, all in a fun and competitive environment. We break the campers into small instructional groups of similar age and ability, 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. Beginners get a heavy dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players focus on strategy, point building, percentage tennis, etc.
The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps are the premier camps for young players who strive to learn the game, improve their skills and participate in middle school, high school, USTA team tennis, or tournaments.
Camp is open to any and all entrants limited only by number, age, grade level and or gender.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAMP INCLUDE:
- Comprehensive instructional program with daily teaching progressions
- Small instructional groups to ensure individual attention
- Safety prioritized on and off court
- Camp demo program with all the latest Wilson rackets
- Great Wilson Raffle and prizes for all campers

CAMP REVIEWS
My 8 year old son LOVED this camp. It was his first introduction to tennis. They turned skills into fun games that he said progressively taught him how to play and perform the skills. He was sad we only signed up for one week, and is already excited about next year. The camp was professionally run. I always knew what was going on, and was met with friendly faces at drop off and pick up. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
My daughter loved this camp more than any others she has attended and asked to go back next year 😃
Wonderful camp! Kids loved it and learned a lot
Coaches were great. I was able to meet the college coaches (C. Dunagan and Matt (mens). Was able to play matches.
The camper Truly had a good, but exhausting time. The exercise, fresh air and sunshine was great. Coaches made sure campers were well hydrated. Great experience. camper also improved her ability to play.
Great coaches, couldn’t have been kinder and more encouraging. Great instruction as well. I sent both kids and they never complained about going, which says a lot, especially in this heat!

FACILITY
UNF Tennis Complex
The University of North Florida Tennis Complex contains 10 lighted hard courts — including a fenced stadium court — along with a covered seating area for fans. Two additional courts are located alongside the main complex.
Following the 2012 season, the complex underwent a large-scale renovation. Over the course of the off-season, all 11 courts were re-surfaced and improved. In addition to the surface itself, the facility also replaced many of its fences and added several specially-made windscreens to the courts.
In the Spring of 2014, a scoreboard featuring the ability to show the scores at six different courts was installed adjacent to the central seating area of the facility.
