Youth Camps
About Our Camp Opportunities
Saint Paul Urban Tennis offers a variety of different camp opportunities for Saint Paul youth. SPUT's half-day Academic Creative Engagement (A.C.E.) Camps combine tennis lessons with fun off-court activities that inspire kids to develop a love of learning. A few years ago, we expanded our camp offerings to include the "I'm Next" Middle School Girls Tennis and Leadership Camp which is made possible through a partnership among SPUT, Inner City Tennis, Fred Wells Tennis and Education Center, USTA Northern, and Her Next Play. In 2022, we also partnered for the first time with The Bakken Science Musem to put on a STTEM (science, technology, tennis, engineering, and math) camp for ages 8-12. To find out if your child is eligible for these camp offerings, reach out to us at admin@urbantennis.org.
A.C.E. Camp
Academic Creative Engagement (A.C.E.) Camps integrate tennis with fun off-court math, science, literacy, and creative expression activities to inspire kids to develop a love of learning. SPUT offers half-day camps in August each year! A.C.E. camps are ideal for youth ages 8-12, with youth being split into age and ability appropriate groups. Drop your child off anytime from 8:30-9:00am and pick your child up at 12:30pm after they have eaten lunch provided by SPUT. For more information on A.C.E. Camps, email admin@urbantennis.org.
"I'm Next" Camp
In 2020, Saint Paul Urban Tennis, Her Next Play, The Fort, InnerCity Tennis, and USTA Northern partnered to create a Tennis and Leadership Camp for Middle School Girls. The camp was created with the goal of connecting middle school girls from under-represented communities with women coach mentors at a week-long tennis and leadership experience. On-court, girls focus on improving a different tennis skill each day while off-court they engaged in workshops that create a safe space for them to learn, share, and connect with facilitators and each other. Now branded as the "I'm Next" Camp, this camp has become a staple program for SPUT.
