General Info

Indoor and Outdoor Facility

The camp utilizes the 13 outdoor and 8 air-conditioned indoor court facility at Wake Forest University. We try to use the air-conditioned indoor courts as much as possible to help keep the campers energized, healthy and comfortable so that they can get the greatest possible benefit from their time at camp.

Housing Information For Overnight Campers

Housing is in Wake Forest University dormitories. Campers can expect to be in a double. Triples are usually not available. There is A/C in the dorms, and each room has a refrigerator as well. Campers are responsible for bringing their own sheets, blanket, pillow and towels.

There will no longer be a key deposit required, but any camper who loses their key during their stay will be charged for the lost key. Please understand that campers and their guardians are fully responsible for any and all property or other damage to the room or other facilities used by the tennis camps.

Meals

Meals are provided for overnight campers. Day campers should bring their own lunch each day. Half day campers leave before lunch.

Cancellations and Refunds

A full refund minus a $35 service fee will be issued if refund request is made more than two weeks prior to the start of camp. Within two weeks of the start of camp, an 80% refund will be issued if requested prior to the opening day of camp. From the opening day of the student’s camp, no refunds will be issued.

What to Bring

We recommend that campers not bring valuable items such as IPads, video game consoles, laptops, etc, to camp. Wake Forest, the Tennis Camps @ Wake Forest University and the Wyshner School of Tennis, LLC are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items or money during your stay.

We recommend campers have no more than $40 with them. For group activities, the camp pays for each camper’s admission so campers just need to be able to pay for snacks, e.g. movie night. On another night, campers might need money to pay for their own ice cream or snack if we make a nighttime run to ColdStone or something like that.

Do bring the following:

• Tennis Racket or rackets – labeled
• T-shirts or tops for tennis – minimum six
• Shorts or tennis skirts – minimum six
• Tennis Shoes – 1 or 2 pairs – no running shoes allowed on court
• Socks – minimum six pairs
• Casual clothing
• Sweatshirt/sweatpants or warm-up jacket and pants
• Pajamas
• Sunscreen
• Hat
• Water Bottle
• Toiletries
• Laundry Bag
• Pillow, Sheets, Blanket and towels
• Shower slippers
• Your smile and enthusiasm
