Experience
Northwestern's university campus gives camps a different feel than commercial clubs - college-level facilities, sometimes overlap with NU varsity tennis sessions, and a clear pipeline that some kids follow into college recruitment. Beginner group classes welcome true first-timers; older juniors find serious tournament prep.
