MISSION STATEMENT
We hope to provide a positive, learning environment in which the camper can learn fundamentals, individual skills, and competitive skills if they want to advance their game to the next competitive level. Additionally, we want to expose the campers to instructors and players who have been successful on the NAIA, Divi­sion I and professional level. The camper’s growth as a player and person is important to us while spending the week at Wildcat Tennis Camp.
 
FACILITIES AND PARKING
The Dr. H.H. Downing Outdoor Tennis Complex, and the nine-court Hilary J. Boone Varsity Tennis Stadium Complex, is the facility for the Wildcat Tennis Camp. It is located off of Cooper Drive in Lexington, across from the Lexington Community College. One of the nation’s finest indoor collegiate facilities, the Boone Indoor Center, houses the Wildcat Tennis Hall of Fame and serves as the head-quarters for the camp. All registration will take place indoors. The parking lot at the intersection of Cooper Drive and Sports Center Drive, adjacent to the E.J. Nutter Training Facility, is available during the summer for you to park and walk your camper to the In­doors Building. Paid parking is also available in the new parking garage adjacent to the tennis courts. You may enter the Boone Center off of the grass facing Cooper or come down the sidewalk (Complex Drive) and enter by crossing the outdoor tennis courts.
