Tennis has always been the "backbone" of the Manitou sports program. The tennis program was developed over 20 years ago by Peter Burwash, who is renowned for setting the standard at leading tennis schools and camp the world over. Our facility includes 10 courts, bleachers, and a dedicated tennis clubhouse. Staff are hired for their skill, character and ability to communicate, motivate, and inspire.

The primary goal of the tennis program is to provide an athletic foundation for all campers. In order to achieve this goal we continue to create innovative, exciting and effective. Programs that nurture and compliment children of all skill levels and personalities. Our goal is for campers to develop a life long love for the game.

From the beginner to the advanced, campers are placed with others of similar ability and interest. Campers also have the chance to participate in many inter-camp competitions.

The Manitou Tennis Academy (M.T.A.), held after dinner, strives to develop tournament players or build the child's skill level on a more intense basis.
