Summer Camps

High quality summer tennis camps have been an ORC tradition for years. Our summer camps are geared to specific playing levels, so whether you’re a beginner, an intermediate or advanced, we offer camp session choices suitable for children and adults.

Junior Camps

(Todd Raleigh, ext. 698 – Tennis Camp Coordinator)

Pee Wee Morning Camp
Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 12:00 pm
Our camps are designed specifically for kid’s aged 4-7, and are a great way to develop eye-hand, eye-foot coordination, spatial awareness, and cooperation with others. We use special mini tennis racquets that are lighter and easier for children to maneuver, and low-density foam balls, which have a slower bounce and speed. Combined with lower nets, learning tennis at ORC is a breeze! During camp week, other sport specific skills will be developed to enhance our primary focus sport, tennis!

Junior 1/2 Day Camp
Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 12:00 pm
This program is for children aged 7-13 and will focus on tennis as the main sport. Campers will develop the five ball controls of height, distance, direction, speed and spin, with a focus on fundamental stroke technique. Specific sport skills from soccer, basketball and squash may be used during the week to enhance skills.

Junior Full Day Camp
Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 4:30 pm
This is our most popular camp as it caters to the same age group as the 1/2 day camp but adds swimming and more match play in the afternoon. Participants are supervised throughout the lunch and swim break (lifeguards) and develop all the same skills as the morning camp but then get to try out their newly acquired skills in match play situations and games. Team tennis and social skills are enhanced throughout the week.

All Camps Include: Free T-shirt or cap and Group Photo, Olympic Team Day (Friday), Prizes and Awards, Camp Certificate, Formal Skills Assessment and Lunch on Friday.

A 10% discount is offered when campers register same child for three or more camps.

Junior Team Training
Monday to Friday 12:00 - 4:00 pm
The ORC tradition of providing high quality tennis training through the indoor season continues this summer with a series of competitive training camp sessions. Camps are open to players who have been involved in ORC’s Team Training program or equivalent in 2005/2006. Geared for players aspiring to become involved in local or OTA sanctioned tournaments, this program bridges the gap between recreational and high performance training. Summer camps will be 4 HOURS PER DAY five days per week. Players start out with a half hour of off court stretching, speed training and agility drills, then 3 hours of intensive on court tennis, followed by additional hour off court training. All players will receive video analysis assessments, match charting and personal reviews. For further details, contact Todd Raleigh at extension 625.
