Recognized by Tennis Magazine as one of North America�s top 25 tennis resorts and by USA Today as number one for best tennis camp value, Northstar�s tennis center is one-of-a-kind. Nestled in the heart of the mountains, guests can challenge themselves in one of the most serene mountain settings around and brush up on their skills, compete in a tournament or just play for fun.

Located at 6,400 feet and surrounded by pine trees and wild flowers, Northstar�s ten tennis courts feature five fully-certified instructors, clinics, camps and social events.

Thousands of tennis centers around the country have recently joined together to promote the many health and social benefits of the sport� and Northstar is one of them. Known as Tennis Welcome Centers, these select locations offer FREE clinics that focus on three main things: learning how to play tennis quickly, getting a great workout and meeting new people while having a great time.

Doctors and sports therapists have long recognized tennis as an invigorating, healthy and fun-for-all activity offering a diversion from life�s stresses. Northstar is proud to help introduce new participants to the sport with its FREE clinics every Saturday from 4 p.m. � 5 p.m. Participants can enjoy food and drinks at receptions following each clinic.

5-Day and 2-Day Tennis Camps: Guests are guaranteed to improve their game with Northstar�s professional staff of U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) - certified instructors. Each year Northstar�s instructors learn the latest coaching styles while continuing their study of core teaching philosophies. Northstar offers two and five-day tennis camps for children and adults throughout the summer. Camps include stroke development, strategy, sport psychology and rehabilitation, video analysis, use of demo racquets, ball machines, refreshments and a souvenir T-shirt. Two-day camps are offered May through October and five day camps, June through August.

Weekly Activities: The calendar of weekly tennis activities reflects Northstar�s social and very friendly atmosphere. Besides midweek and weekend clinics for adults and juniors, there are themed tennis events held almost every day, whether it�s a pro exhibition with ice cream, a men's or ladies' day, a Brickyard Classic with car races, or the popular Margarita mixer.

Junior and Adult Camps: Apart from clinics, one of Northstar�s major draws is its adult and junior tennis camps. Adults have a choice of two-day weekend packages or five-day midweek packages, each with three hours of group instruction each morning. Prices begin at $132 for adults and $77 for juniors.

Special Events: Northstar is busting at the seams with a number of exciting events this summer. There is something for every age, athletic ability and gender.
