2026 CAMPS
July 6-10 & August 17-20
Join us on beautiful Vancouver Island and immerse yourself in the ultimate tennis destination trip! Registration opens Monday, March 2nd!
Join TCSP coach Mark Ball on a tennis excursion to Vancouver Island this July and August. The Half Slam tennis camp is a unique opportunity to play on two very storied surfaces used at the French Open and Wimbledon. Test your skills on the fast, low bouncing courts of South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club’s grass courts. Serve & Volley? You BET!!! After playing on the grass courts for 2 days, the group then moves to the red clay courts of Bear Mountain Resort just 30 minutes south.
Switching from the fast grass to the much slower red clay courts will challenge your timing and endurance like you’ve never been tested before. Test your ability to adapt your game technically, mentally and physically! If 25 hours of tennis packed into 5 days doesn’t satisfy your tennis cravings, then you should be playing on the tour! Pack your bags, update your passport, and enjoy the ultimate tennis camp experience!
- Adult Players must be a minimum NTRP rating of 3.0 to participate.
