There is certainly not shortage of options for young people these days.  Unfortunately many of them are indoor activities or technology linked.  Summer camps are still places where children can explore their identity, be challenged and make important friendships.

Ace Tennis is a specific and dedicated to one sport camp. This does not mean there are not all sorts of other hidden benefits for children as well as developing a Rafa Nadal forehand! 

The staff at Ace Tennis actively promote all benefits for you or your child.

Take a look at this guide as an insight into some of those non tennis benefits of attending Ace Tennis Camps:

Friendship
Camps are places where children can make great friendships away from perhaps the social expectations of school. Its a place to create an identity with other children who already share many of your same interests. The fun of summer camps means it automatically brings people together.

Outdoors
Summer camps especially Ace Tennis are all outside, this is a break from the narrow experience of indoor life. Outdoor experiences are know to enrich children's perception of the world

Social Skills
Children learn to respect and cooperate with each other in a close knit community. As they are sharing accommodation, common rooms and courts they learn to understand the meaning of genuine communication. This also helps to build teamwork.

Independence
Children learn to make their own decisions, without being guided every step of the way. Always supervised and safe but the freedom to select different paths with different outcomes. This helps them form part of their personality.

Life Skills
The overall experience especially at Ace Tennis Camps means so much more than just improving tennis. The ethos of team work, respect, handwork and responsibility means the children leave with a vast set of enhanced skills. Skills that can be adapted for other areas of life.

Real World
The Ace Tennis way is to "take a break from technology". Encouraging the real work, real interaction with real people. Learning about what others language or culture. It is important in the modern era to maintain this connection.

Resiliency
Encouraging children in all aspects of the camp. Perhaps not getting the new technique or tactic at first, sticking it at it and being not afraid to fail. Learning improvement is not always made first time.

Experience Success
Build self-confidence and self-esteem. Encouraging children to excel in both a competitive and non competitive environment. Summer camps can be a real boost for children. It can easily be the highlight of their year.

Active
As well as playing tennis for the majority of the day the children can participate in football, swimming, basketball and so many other things. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and eating well at the same time. Summer camps are non stop action.
