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.

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.
