About Our Squash Summer Camps
The International Squash Academy is for boys and girls ages 10 - 18. All ability levels are encouraged to attend. Thanks to our 4:1 camper to staff ratio we are able to teach a curriculum for each age and ability level in attendance. Campers are asked experience level questions during the registration process to help our staff create pre-camp skill groups. All campers will compete outside of their skill group during match play to further develop them as stronger players.
Squash Summer Camps Include:
Overnight campers will stay on
campus in the dormitories and eat
in the dining hall. The staff resides
in the dorm to provide supervision.
Extended day campers are provided
lunch and dinner. Day campers will
have lunch at camp. Camp concludes
with a Play-Off Tournament from
9:30-12:00 and parents are
encouraged to come watch. Pick-up is
at 12:30 pm.

Training Curriculum
Our campers will be taught the techniques, tactical strategies and conditioning
most important in the game today. Our skill lessons, quick drills and individual
sessions give each player the opportunity to maximize their potential. Our low
camper to staff ratio allow our instructors the time to give consistent personal
feedback. Advanced players who wish to focus on tournament training will have
additional court opportunities to concentrate on match play, tactical strategy and
mental preparation in a competitive setting. All campers will leave camp with a
personal workbook that will reinforce our camp curriculum.
