CAMPS
Tennis Day Camps
Beginner and Intermediate, Kids aged 7 to 17
Every camper learns stroke basics, game strategy, footwork, sportsmanship and receives an ONEC day camp tshirt. The camp is run in a safe and structured environment by responsible and mature tennis instructors.
ONEC’s day camps are a great way to get your child interested in tennis or to build on the skills they already possess. Campers are assessed on the first day and grouped according to level of play.
The Clubhouse
ONEC’s central hub is the tennis pavilion, which is located on Tennis Crescent, south of the parkway. Tennis campers are dropped off at the "Tennis Circle" on Tennis Crescent, next to the parking lot.
The Clubhouse has washrooms with showers inside, along with a small canteen for lunchtime treats. Outside is a grassy yard with picnic tables.
Wrapping around the pavilion are the tennis courts, and across the road is the beautiful boathouse where sailing kayaking and rowing camps take place. Unfortunately, the Boathouse will not be in use this Summer 2023 as it remains under construction. However, all water-sport camps will take place from the shore, east of the Boathouse.
