How to Choose a Sports Camp

• Skill level matters. Some camps are elite/competitive, others welcome total beginners. Check before you book.
• Day vs. residential. If your family is traveling together, day camps give you flexibility. Residential camps offer full immersion.
• Combine with travel. A week of tennis in London or golf at St Andrews pairs perfectly with family sightseeing.
