Here's what others have had to say about Walla Walla Tennis and Wine Camps.

• "This was one of the best getaways I've ever done. The tennis was great. The coaching felt 1:1 even though the camp had 16 players. The food and Wine was phonemonal. It's an incredible value. I will be back."—E.S., Int., June 2018

• "I went with an international group of friends on their recommendation. We rented a large home for 6 people near campus. We could walk to camp. The town is small and quaint, a farming community filled with Wineries and tasting rooms. The Whitman College campus was quite beautiful. The courts were very nice surrounded by beautiful old trees and campus buildings. The coaches were fun and enthusiastic and had time following camp to work on individual things. Groups were well intermingled for tennis and dinners/ wine tastings. The food we had was amazing! Fresh, local- catered to allergies and other preferences. The wine was flowing, very generous on the catering end. The experience far exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to book another camp! They rotate experiences, chefs and wineries, guest coaches, so each camp is a little different. It was fantastic!"—C.H., Int., June 2018

• "A fun time playing tennis, meeting great people, enjoying lots of wine and amazing dinners at beautiful wineries!"—H.Y., Adv. Int., August 2013

• "Ahh, tennis and wine camp. And tennis players like to eat nice food and drink some good wine. Who doesn’t? What if I told you that there existed such a place, that not only combines tennis with food and wine, but is some of the most fun tennis you’ve ever played but also some of the single most amazing wine dinners you’ve ever had? And it happens day-after-day, night-after-night. Enter Tennis and Wine Camp at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA. The Tennis This is first and foremost a tennis camp. There are warmup routines, technical focus on fundamentals, match situation drills, and fun games that get you running around and interacting with everyone at the camp. There’s a wide range of abilities. There were 2.5 level beginners all the way up to 5.0 superstars. The staff do a great job of mixing it up so that you’re either playing with similar levels or involved in a game where skill level doesn’t matter. Scroll down for a typical day’s schedule. You’re guaranteed a fun group too. Think about it, these are people just like you – fellow foodies who play tennis! Morning session in the Walla Walla sun The Staff One important note: the camp staff runs this camp in order to raise money for the Whitman College men’s and women’s tennis team. And the single biggest reason this camp works is due to that staff. We’re talking not only some of the friendliest people around, but super organized, thoughtful, and FUN. And I should also mention they are AMAZING tennis coaches. Greg Patton (Bio) and Jeff Northam (Bio) are the head coaches of the Boise State and Whitman College tennis teams. From 1984 through 1987, Greg served as the Head Junior National Coach with the USA Junior National Team that included Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, Patrick McEnroe, and more. But at this camp he’ll be teaching YOU. So much more could be written about Greg and Jeff (and other staffers John Hein (Bio), Tom Sawatzki, etc.) but you’re best off going to the camp and meeting them yourself. The Food If you are a foodie tennis player this camp is a no brainer. The restaurants are top quality. I live in Seattle and it always surprises me that a small town like Walla Walla has the quality of restaurants that it does. But you won’t be eating at just restaurants. My favorite meal was the meal we had on the hill of the Figgins vineyard. The cost of the camp was worth it for just this one meal. We were served amazing amazing food made with local ingredients, and served wine made with the grapes grown in the earth below our feet. It was some of the best wine I’ve ever had and best food in a setting straight out of a magazine."—S.H., Adv. Int., July 2013
