Tennis and Life Camps

Overview

Tennis & Life Camps provides a unique learning experience through our Three Crowns™ training techniques. We teach concentration and relaxation methods, confidence-building strategies, match strategies for beginners to advanced players, and mechanics you can count on when the match gets tight. What we apply on the court can be applied to every area of your life.

We do all this through first-rate instruction, humor, reflection, music, and interactions with campers on and off the court. Our instructors will not just teach you tennis and leave you once they walk off the court. They will dine with you, counsel junior campers, carry your luggage, be in a variety show act with your child, play GVS with you, and be there for you because they believe in you as a player and a person.

All camps take place on the beautiful campus of Gustavus Adolphus College, located in Saint Peter, Minnesota. With 12 outdoor courts and 6 indoor courts, Tennis & Life Camps at Gustavus has one of the finest tennis facilities in the country.

TLC focuses on identifying the things we can control and applying them on and off the court (the Three Crowns). The key to this is having the serenity to accept what we cannot change (winning, playing well, other people’s behavior and choices, illness, life’s unforeseen challenges), and having the courage to change what we can (our own actions as we face challenges in life and in tennis). Wisdom comes by knowing the difference between the two.
