Review of the Tenniscamp Week from July 5th to 11th 2026

We are a group of four boys aged 15 and 16 who participated in a camp in July 2026. Participating in the camp was not a nice experience for us. We therefore cannot recommend the camp, for the following reasons:

• Tennis is not the focus

Tennis played a much smaller role than the camp’s advertising had suggested. A large portion of the time was scheduled for other activities. This did not meet our expectations. We had come for tennis training. As already mentioned, there was too little of that. The announced video analysis did not take place at all. When our tennis strings broke, it was not possible to have the rackets restrung. We then had to play with borrowed unfamiliar rackets.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the tennis lessons with the trainer.

• Target group is significantly younger children

The camp was essentially geared towards childcare for younger children. The camp’s advertising had stated that participants up to 17 years of age were to be expected. Apparently, apart from us, there had been no registrations in a similar age group. However, we had not been informed of this prior to the camp. Since, as already mentioned, activities other than tennis were often put on the program, we asked whether we could at least be excused from these activities to do things we enjoy. However, this was not permitted, out of consideration for the younger participants. This applies in particular to the use of the fitness studio. Upon arrival, we had been told that we were allowed to use it. However, this ultimately did not happen either.

• Poor food (both in quality and quantity)

In the mornings and at lunchtime, there was exclusively toast every day. Some of the toast had apparently been frozen beforehand and when it was served to us, it was not yet fully thawed and still wet and cold. The only fruit offered with it was apples. There was no variety whatsoever in this regard. This resulted in us eating little in the mornings and at lunchtime, so that when it came to tennis training, we lacked energy. In the evenings, there were cooked meals that were generally tasty. However, there was often not enough to feel full after an active day.

• Difficult sleeping situation

At night, we were accommodated in a tennis hall where we slept on the floor. This was basically fine. However, due to the younger children, it was often very loud in the tennis hall until late at night, making it difficult to get sufficient sleep. Furthermore, the toilets on the tennis facility were not accessible at night. There was only a mobile plastic toilet cabin without fixed water or sewage lines (a so-called portable toilet). In particular, we had no access to sinks. This proved especially unfortunate one night when one of us had a nosebleed and there was no way to wash and clean off the blood.

• Positive aspect: the team leaders

We would like to emphasize that the team leaders who supervised the participants were all very nice and made efforts to help us and find solutions. However, our requests often could not be implemented. In our impression, this was not due to the team leaders, but to the guidelines that the team leaders received from the organizers of the camp.

In conclusion the camp was not what we expected and did not fulfill our expectations.

Helaas kan het kamp totaal niet waarmaken wat ze beloven op de website. Daarnaast heel weinig deelnemers waardoor groepen (7-12 en 13 - 16 jaar)worden samengevoegd en activiteiten niet konden doorgaan. Geen avondprogramma. Geen gecertificeerde padelleraren etc.

Onze zoon, 10 jaar, hadden we opgegeven voor 2 dagen voetbal dagkamp. Zag er op de site leuk uit, hij had er zin in.
Na de 1e dag kwam hij kwam verdrietig en boos thuis. Bleek dat hij overdag meerdere keren had aangegeven dat hij naar huis wilde. Er is geen contact met ons opgenomen. Dat is de belangrijkste reden voor deze slechte review, nul sterren was beter op zijn plaats geweest.
Uiteraard heb ik contact opgenomen met de organisatie. Verder dan mailen en telefonisch contact met de manager van de dagkampen (lees een jonger iemand zonder kinderen) ben ik niet gekomen.
Heb keer op keer uitgelegd dat ik mijn kind in vertrouwen bij hun achterlaat en dat ik dan verwacht dat er wordt gebeld als dat nodig is. Uiteraard is onze zoon de volgende dag niet gegaan, geld krijg ik niet terug. Als alternatief; andere dag / ander kamp of voucher voor volgend jaar. Nou nee, mijn zoon wil niet meer!

Mijn zoon heeft het multisportkamp gedaan, met het door hem zelfgekozen accent op tennis en hoewel hij heel wat kampen heeft gehad is deze hem uitzonderlijk goed bevallen. Zo zijn er erg goede en vriendelijke begeleiders die niet alleen leuk zijn met de kinderen maar ze ook echt wat leren. Zijn tennisniveau is bijvoorbeeld aanzienlijk verbeterd in een week. Het kamp zit boordevol activiteiten, zo doen ze niet alleen de zelfgekozen sport maar ook allerlei leuke dingen in en om het water, bingo, bbq, zwemdisco en nog veel meer. Verder vond ik de nodige discipline vwb slapen, eten en telefoongebruik heel ok. Overigens was het eten prima in orde volgens mijn zoon en gezond. Zelfs glutenvrij was voor de kok geen probleem. Sfeer was top en hij heeft veel vrienden gemaakt. Hij vond het zó leuk dat hij volgende week waarschijnlijk weer gaat.
