CLTA Summer Camp:
19 Years of Elite Training
Now in our 19th season, we bring decades of experience in high-performance tennis training, offering a personalized, small-group environment where players receive unparalleled individual attention.
With just 2-3 players per court and coach, your child will receive semi-private training all day long, following the special Spanish training methodology each week of camp! With 4 courts onsite, including red clay courts, we cap each tennis training session at a maximum of 12 players, with a total of around 30 campers per week—an exceptionally small size for a high-performance summer camp. This ensures highly individualized attention, with Chris working directly with players within the group, providing hands-on coaching and tailored instruction.
What sets our training apart is the personal attention every player receives and the opportunity to train with Chris daily. Because of our small size, we get to know each player’s game in detail, allowing us to focus on areas that larger high-performance camps often overlook. Each player receives a personal assessment from Chris, along with a customized training and development plan for their stay.
World-Class Training Facilities & Natural Setting
Our campus features:
4 onsite courts, including red clay courts and indoor courts for all-weather training
Additional clay and hard courts within a mile of our campus
A fully equipped gym and sports lab onsite for strength, conditioning, and recovery
A beautiful river just past the red clay courts, perfect for swimming and cooling off after training
50 acres of pristine land, where kids can explore the wilderness, hike, and enjoy nature
Summer Camp Student Housing
Campers stay at the nearby Upper Pass Lodge (www.upperpasslodge.com), a charming New England retreat at the base of Magic Mountain. The lodge offers comfortable rooms with private baths and a beautiful outdoor swimming pool for students to enjoy after practice. Players are roomed by gender and age or by request, and are supervised full-time by CLTA counselors and coaches who also reside at the lodge.
Food & Meals – Ultimate Choice & Variety
We cater to our students by ordering dinner from different favorite local restaurants every night, giving them variety and the freedom to enjoy their favorite meals. The kids love it! In addition, the Upper Pass Lodge’s Red Slate Restaurant provides nutritious, chef-prepared meals, including a breakfast buffet and bagged lunch. Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.
Grocery Visits
A supermarket is located near the club, and we take players for a market visit once per week, usually on weekends. Campers should bring a week’s supply of their favorite snacks before their next shopping trip.
A unique feature of CLTA summer camp is the direct involvement of Chris, who personally works with each camper in small groups of just 2-3 players per court every day. With a maximum of 12 players per rotating session and around 30 campers per week, CLTA remains one of the smallest and most personalized high-performance summer camps available.

With 2 Players per court and coach ratio, your child will get semiprivate training all day long with the special Spanish ratio every week of camp! We have 4 courts on site for training, so that means for every tennis training session, we take a maximum 12 players per session, and Chris works on the court with the players individually within the group. We believe this is what makes our training so special: the individual attention every player receives and the chance to interact and work on court directly with Chris each day. Because we are so small, we know each player and his or her game very well, and we can address details that larger camps often overlook.
All players receive an assessment from Chris during the week and Chris works with each player to set some training goals and a development plan for the length of his or her stay.
Summer Camp Student Housing
Summer students will be staying at the nearby Upper Pass Lodge, www.upperpasslodge.com, which offers comfortable room options with private bath in a charming New England setting at the base of Magic Mountain. The Lodge also has a lovely outdoor swimming pool for our students to enjoy daily after practice. Students will be roomed together by gender and age or by request. CLTA counselors and coaches live at the lodge, and players have full-time supervision.
Food and Meals
The Upper Pass Lodge has a full restaurant, The Red Slate Restaurant, and will provide nutritious chef-made meal options for our players including a breakfast buffet and bag lunch. The chef can accommodate all types of special nutrition requests. Please notify us in advance of your special dietary restrictions and we will accommodate.
Grocery Visits
There is a supermarket near the club and we will take the players to the market once per week, usually on a weekend day, so players should bring their favorite snacks and plan on having a week’s supply on hand before being able to go to the store.
One unique aspect about CLTA summer camp is that Chris is personally available to discuss each student’s summer development plan and goal-setting, and he works with each camper in small groups (only 2-3 players per court) each day.

CAMP REVIEWS
“Chris’ attention to detail and patience creates a unique learning environment that allowed our daughter to improve and develop at an extraordinary pace. As a result of Chris’ coaching, in less than two weeks she transformed her serve and strengthened all aspects of her game. The intimate, family oriented environment in Vermont that focused on training on and off the court also created a fun but demanding experience that helped build confidence in our daughter and has allowed her to compete at a national level. She can’t wait to go back this summer to continue to work on her game!” –Ryan F.
“We are very fortunate to have found an academy such as the Chris Lewit Tennis Academy where we can take our son (a top 100 nationally ranked junior) to during the summer and know without a shadow of a doubt that the greatest care and diligence in his tennis development will be of the utmost priority with proven results evident after attending the summer camp and our willingness to continue to travel out of state to place our son at the academy with such passionate and knowledgeable coaches.” -RJ.
“My son has been attending CLTA summer camp for the past two summers, and is looking forward to this coming summer, also. in fact, his younger brother will be joining him. it has been a very enjoyable experience for him, with the perfect combination of fun and hard work. his tennis game has improved enormously in a short time, as well as his dedication and commitment. the staff is very personally invested and skilled. Chris and his assistants provide a great balance between play and instruction, both physical and psychological, which is essential for young athletes.” -Marleigh M.
“My 14 year old son Liam has been attending the CLTA summer tennis camp since he first started playing the game as a 10 year old. During this time Liam has played in USTA tournaments, starting as novice and working his way to a top 30 ranking in the East.. I can state without question that Chris Lewit and his coaches at CLTA provided the best environment for player development. Liam would come after spending the day at camp and tell me “Dad I want to play more tennis”. I can only attribute this to Chris and his staff making the learning/training experience enjoyable while at the same time being highly effective. I often have spent time at CLTA observing how the camp is conducted, the coaches take time to talk with students and are always instructing proper techniques and strategies. They don’t just hit balls for hours. I believe it is the best tennis environment available in the area and I would recommend CLTA to any parent looking to help their child develop both on and off the court.” –Eric k.
“My daughter attended Chris’s camp for the last two years and improved her game significantly each summer. Besides the drills and point play, she received daily technical instruction and correction from Chris. She also developed close relationships with the staff, experienced players who were genuinely excited to help her improve and reach her goals. The personal attention and support she received really distinguished this camp experience from that of other tennis camps.” -Sarah G.
“Chris pushed my boys to their best. Everyday, my boys got home exhausted but look forward to going back next day. They improved a great deal in their stokes, footwork, stamina, mental toughness, and work ethics during the summer. Compared to others, Chris’s camp has fewer kids on each court, and each kid receives more individual instructions. Everyone worked so hard there.” -Mother
“Chris Lewit is a phenomenal tennis coach and mentor. We researched out the best coach to help guide us through the Spanish Way of tennis. After reading Chris’s book, we knew we’d found the right resource. Our girls had the pleasure of attending his tennis camp in Vermont. The group setting, instruction and facility were just what we were looking for. The girls worked so well with Chris that we flew him out to train with our girls in our hometown. He’s very interested in our girls success and helps guide us through tournament selection and training plans. I’d highly recommend you working with him.” –Dave D.
“In addition to his skills as a tennis coach, Chris has the added advantage of being able to communicate his tennis philosophies through his writing. Given that I live in California, that is exactly how I found Chris. His approach of blending the best European and American techniques into one consistent approach was very appealing. I thought it would be valuable to expose my 14-year old son who is a competitive tennis player to Chris’ ideas and therefore we visited Chris. My expectations were entirely exceeded and my son still uses Chris’ training techniques on a weekly basis. Chris also set the right tone with my son – his training sessions were fun, but there was an underlying sense of discipline and he imparted some useful life lessons along the way. All in all, it was a hugely positive experience and well worth our effort. We hope to be back next summer.” -Parent.
“Our 12-year old son had a great experience at Chris Lewit Tennis Academy summer camp, and we were delighted as well. Chris really knows what he is doing — his tennis camp is fun but at the same time serious about tennis, challenging but not punishing, productive and goal-oriented, but not a “tennis factory.” Our son has gone for the last two summers, and intends to go this coming summer again. We highly recommend Chris Lewit Tennis Academy!” -Seth H.
