Summer Camp Modules

This course, developed by Tennis Canada and the TPA, is designed to help you build a complete Camp Portfolio to guide your work as a lead coach. Through four focused modules, you will create a practical manual that covers everything you need to run a smooth, successful camp. This online professional development course counts as a full-day re-certification opportunity.

As a Lead Coach for a summer camp, you play a key role in making sure everything runs smoothly. Depending on your role, you may need a range of tools and resources to support your work. This course will guide you step by step in building a well-organized Portfolio/Manual to help you feel fully prepared and confident in leading your camp. You will also tailor it to your specific camp and environment, so it works in the real-world setting you’re in.

We will be focusing on:

Tennis Camp Foundations
Fitting into Your Club
On and Off Court Planning
Communication

Each module dives into the key elements you will need to think about so you’re ready for anything the camp season brings.

Module 1 - Tennis Camp Foundations

Let’s start planning your summer camp with both kids and parents in mind. They may have different motivations, but they’re both looking for a great experience. This section will help you design and organize a camp that delivers just that.

Module 2 - Fitting into your Club

Start by getting to know your club inside and out. A clear understanding of how things run helps you make smarter decisions and see which ideas will actually work. This step also gives you a solid reference point as you shape the club’s direction.

Module 3 - On and Off Court Planning

It’s time to build a solid game plan for your summer camp. With the right prep, you’ll spot issues before they happen and make things run more smoothly. This part will help you map out where people need to be, what’s happening when, and how to keep everything on track.

Module 4 - Communication

Strong communication is key to running a great camp and building positive relationships with everyone: supervisors, coaches, parents, and players. In this section, you will learn simple strategies to keep communication open, respectful, and effective. These tools will help your team work better together and create a more rewarding experience for everyone involved.
