The Mission
English Language Tennis Camps aim to offer the best mix of learning and fun during school holidays in Tricity.
We run an unique tennis & activity camp that includes an English learning aspect for children from age 8 to 14 based in Gdańsk and Sopot.
Location
Our camp base is located at the Novotel Gdańsk Marina in Jelitkowo, right by the beach. This is where each day the children will be dropped off and collected.

Tom
I’m the camp leader, living in Gdansk since 2020 but originally I’m from South London, UK. I’ve been playing tennis since I was 8 but I also love football and skiing. I’ve always wanted to create an activity camp experience for children and teenagers that also includes conversational English lessons to support their learning outside the classroom while also having fun.

Official information
We aim to give all of our kids the opportunity to either discover tennis for the first time, or improve their tennis skills if they have already played before. This camp is not intended for competition level junior players. Our camps are are divided into small groups of six, determined by tennis ability level. However, during all other activities, the kids will mix together.
Aside from a minimum of 8 hours of tennis during every camp, there will be plenty of other activities to keep the group entertained including Pixel XL, padel, mental strength training led by a qualified psychologist, and an English version of Postaw na milion!
In case of bad weather, we have plenty of indoor alternative activities on location at the Hotel including arts, crafts, board games and a swimming pool.
