Penn State Tennis Camp is designed to provide individualized instruction, taking into account the performance levels of student campers. Multiple sessions are held daily, except for opening and closing dates. All camps include court drills to reinforce strategy concepts, supervised match play, round-robin and team tennis, and games to enhance physical skills such as agility, quickness, and endurance. An excellent student-to-instructor ratio is maintained to provide individual coaching for each camper.

The professional staff provides each player with the highest-quality tennis instruction, geared toward accentuating strengths and improving every aspect of the camper's game. Although the emphasis at the camp is "tennis and more tennis," no players are pushed beyond their levels of endurance. Likewise, no players end the day complaining they haven't hit enough tennis balls.

Recreation — During camp, participants may spend their free time enjoying Penn State's many recreational facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool and tennis and racquetball courts.
