Junior Tennis Summer Camp in North York for Ages 4–18
At Hillcrest Tennis Camp in North York, our junior tennis summer camp delivers up to 9 weeks of results-driven coaching for players aged 4 to 18 on our newly revitalized courts at 37 Cresthaven Dr. Running from early July through early September with full-day and half-day options, our kids tennis camp is designed for families in Hillcrest Village, the Bayview Avenue corridor, and across the North York and Toronto area who want their children trained by internationally certified professionals.
Players are grouped by age and ability with a 6:1 student-to-coach ratio for beginner and intermediate juniors and a focused 4:1 ratio for advanced and tournament-level players. This ensures personalized attention throughout every session. Our coaching team, led by Director Peter Nielsen — a Tennis Canada National Coach with over 40 years of experience; and Head Pro Roshun Razik, a former Davis Cup player for Sri Lanka with NCAA credentials, delivers a comprehensive tennis education that balances technical mastery, tactical awareness, and on-court physical conditioning.
The full-day tennis summer camp runs from 9 AM to 4 PM and combines four hours of professional instruction with structured activities that reinforce learning while keeping kids engaged. The half-day option runs from 1 PM to 4 PM for families who prefer an intensive afternoon format. Extended care is available from 8 AM to 6 PM for working parents near Sheppard Avenue East, Bayview Avenue, and the wider North York area, including those commuting from Bayview Village, Don Mills, Willowdale, and Pleasant View.

Testimonial
What Our Students Say
“My daughter has received private lessons from Victor at Hillcrest Tennis Camp for the last 2 summers. She has enjoyed learning from Victor due to his patience, challenging exercises, and a great balance of challenge and praise.
In addition to training my daughter, my 2 friends and I took lessons from Victor as well. It was my first year playing after over 25 years of inactivity. I am glad that I took these lessons with Victor as he was able to help update my technique and give me the confidence I needed.”
