HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRAINING SUMMER CAMP

Are you looking for an unforgettable summer tennis experience? Look no further than the Chris Lewit Tennis Academy (CLTA)!

SUMMER CAMP TRAINING

Our summer camp is for players of all ages and levels--but players must have a strong work ethic and a seriousness of purpose. We have beginning players learning world-class techniques as well as many nationally/internationally ranked players preparing for tournaments. Players must be between 9 and 18 years old for boarding at the lodge, although we can make exceptions for older or younger kids on a case-by-case basis.

Our camp features a 2:1 student per court and coach ratio, which is typical of the training in Spain, where Chris has studied extensively. We have approximately 24-30 players max per week, and Chris works on the court with all players individually within the group. We believe this is what makes our training so special: the individual attention every player receives with a two-player semi-private lesson in every session, and the chance to interact and work on the court directly with Chris each day. Because we are so small, we know each player and his or her game very well, and we can address details that larger camps often overlook. We recommend a 3-week stay or more at the camp to see significant improvement in your player.

WHY CLTA IS THE ULTIMATE SUMMER TENNIS CAMP

Looking for serious high-performance tennis training this summer, surrounded by nature’s beauty? Here’s why CLTA is your best choice:

Train in the Stunning Green Mountains

Escape the hustle of suburban and urban life and train in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains! Enjoy fresh air, pristine rivers, forests, lakes, and breathtaking views while your child gets top-tier tennis coaching.

Rain or Shine, Training Never Stops

Unlike outdoor-only camps, we have indoor courts available to ensure that no day is lost due to weather. Always on track, come rain or shine!

Personal Coaching with Chris Lewit and Team

Chris and his team work directly with your child every day to ensure real development. Receive personalized, hands-on coaching from one of the top coaches in the United States. Chris is on the court every day with players of all levels, not just the elite kids.

Small Groups = More Attention

With smaller groups, your child gets more individualized coaching to ensure maximum improvement. It’s not just about tennis, it’s about creating serious players with long-term success.

Don’t Get Lost in the Crowd

We feature a very low 2 or 3 players per court and coach ratio. Many kids even receive one-on-one training during the group sessions. At CLTA, quality over quantity means your child gets the attention they deserve, helping them reach their full potential!

CLTA SUMMER CAMP

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF ELITE TRAINING!

Now in our 20th season, we bring decades of experience in high-performance tennis training, offering a personalized, small-group environment where players receive unparalleled individual attention.

Personal Attention with World-Class Training Facilities & Natural Setting

✅ A unique feature of CLTA summer camp is the direct involvement of Chris, who personally works with each camper in small groups of just 2-3 players per court and coach every day. Chris is on the court every day! Frequently, players even receive semiprivate and private training within the group sessions. With a maximum of 12 players per rotating session and around 30 campers per week, CLTA remains one of the smallest and most personalized high-performance summer camps available. No other summer camp offers this level of personal coaching and attention to detail.

Our campus features:

✅ Outdoor red clay courts and indoor hard courts for all-weather training. NO RAIN OUTS EVER!
✅ Additional clay and hard courts within a few miles of our campus
✅ A fully equipped professional gym and sports lab onsite for strength, conditioning, and recovery
✅ A beautiful river just past the red clay courts, perfect for swimming and cooling off after training
✅ 50 acres of pristine land, where kids can explore the wilderness, hike, and enjoy nature

Food & Meals – Ultimate Choice & Variety

We cater to our students by ordering dinner from different favorite local restaurants every night, giving them variety and the freedom to enjoy their favorite meals. The kids love it! In addition, the Upper Pass Lodge’s Red Slate Restaurant provides nutritious, chef-prepared meals, including a breakfast order and bagged lunch (included in the weekly price). Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice. (Please note restaurant dinner orders are charged extra each week to the player's credit card account on file.)

Refund and Make-Up Policies

Students are allowed to make up any missed academy classes during the summer season as long as space allows and with approval. Summer make ups will not be carried over into another season. All summer make ups must be used by the last day of the summer season. Other makeup situations, such as extreme cases due to serious illness or major injury must be discussed directly with Chris, and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Under no circumstances will refunds be given, only credit.

All players receive an assessment from Chris during the week and Chris works with each player to set training goals and a development plan for the length of his or her stay.

We have both medium-fast hard courts and slow European red clay courts onsite at the club, and we believe both surfaces are beneficial for the players. Clay courts help to develop the tactical mind, footwork and movement, patience, acceleration, and physical endurance of a player, and they build the consistency and defensive aspect of the game. Hard courts develop the quick reaction and adjustments needed and can help hone the weapons and attack mindset of the player. We rotate the players from surface to surface depending on their development plan and their needs.

It’s important to note that we have two indoor hard courts onsite, so in the event of rain, we can move the entire camp quickly indoors and continue our training no matter what the weather is outside. The rain never stops us indoors onsite. This is an advantage that most summer camps do not have!

We have a yoga/exercise room and professional gym area also on-site, and we offer an extensive program of physical preparation, including fitness testing/training with our dedicated, professional Olympic level strength and conditioning coach, weekly yoga lessons from a 500-hour RYT specialist, and speed/agility sessions. A major component of our physical training sessions is injury prevention, and we, therefore, perform a lot of core exercises, shoulder, and leg strengthening work, and stretching.

As is typical of the training model in Spain, players typically play 3 to 3.5 hours of high-intensity tennis a day and have about 2 hours of serious injury prevention, physical training, and cross-sport training. There is opportunity for kids to play extra tennis during free time and breaks if desired. We usually play soccer as part of cross-sport training, which is common in Spain.

We also offer a professional mental toughness program led by a master's degree-level sport psychologist.

With our very small groups in which each player receives personal time on the court directly with Chris, customized--not cookie-cutter--training plans, multiple court surfaces and indoor courts on-site, and professional athletic and injury prevention programs, we are confident that our summer camp is the highest quality serious training program you can find for your child.

A unique offering is our Spanish character-building and mindset training based on the teachings of Toni Nadal!

All students receive personal coaching and mentoring directly from Chris Lewit, and are supported by his highly trained staff of top college and ATP players.

Every summer, the academy hosts a full series of UTR tournaments for campers to play onsite. Players can play UTR verified matches every Saturday at the club.
