What Are Tennis Jobs at Summer Camp?
Tennis Jobs at Summer Camps
Tennis jobs at summer camps are some of the most in-demand racquet sports coaching roles in the country. From traditional sleepaway camps with multiple courts to specialty tennis residential camps featuring USPTA-certified pros, tennis staff find rich teaching environments throughout the summer where they can develop young players at every level. If you played in college, hold pro teaching certifications, or coach competitively, summer camp tennis is a perfect summer gig.
As a tennis coach at an overnight camp, you’ll teach groundstrokes, volleys, serves, and match strategy while running drills, clinics, and intra-camp tournaments. You’ll plan progression-based programs, manage equipment, and coach across skill levels. Many co-ed residential camps run tennis alongside pickleball, racquet sports, and team sports, giving multi-discipline coaches a packed and varied summer.
You’ll teach groundstrokes, volleys, serves, and strategy while running drills, clinics, and tournaments. Most sleepaway camps include tennis in daily athletics rotations throughout the summer camp season.
College tennis experience, USPTA or PTR certification, and prior coaching experience are highly valued. Specialty residential tennis camps often prefer coaches with high USTA rankings or collegiate coaching backgrounds.
Most overnight camps provide balls, hoppers, and basic equipment. You’ll usually need your own racquet and tennis shoes. Specialty residential tennis camps often have additional training equipment and ball machines on-site.
Pay is competitive and commensurate with experience and credentials. Sleepaway camps include room, board, and laundry alongside salary, which adds meaningful value to the overall summer camp package beyond the base figure.
Yes — many residential camps actively recruit current collegiate tennis players. Just verify NIL and NCAA compliance with your athletic department before accepting any paid camp coaching role at a sleepaway camp.

| Job Type | Setting |

Start Date: June 1, 2027
End Date: August 31, 2027
Our extensive activity program at Birchmont is run by an incredible team of coaches, athletes, and artists. Depending on the area, our specialists will either run a program on their own or as part of a team of instructors – helping the campers to learn new skills, have fun and develop their confidence and ability in particular areas. Our specialists also play an important role with their assigned group, assisting as general counselors when not running their own activity area. This role is suited to someone with expertise or experience in a particular activity – previous coaching or teaching experience is preferred, but our Area Heads and Athletic Director are on hand to ‘teach the teachers’, and help talented athletes and specialists develop their own delivery style – so enthusiastic amateurs are welcome also! Current specialty areas which we are recruiting for include: Archery, Arts and Crafts, Baseball/Softball, Basketball, Fitness/Personal Training, Mountain Biking, Games (Physical Education), Performing Arts & Music, High Ropes, Horseback Riding, Tennis, and Soccer. Our Activity Specialists typically will spend about half their day delivering their activity area, and the other half of the day acting as General Counselors, so they get to have the full camp experience, while honing and sharing their skills in a particular program area. These roles are suited to current college students or graduates with a passion for their chosen activity.
