At Oak Crest Day Camp, we believe that sports are a great way to stay active, have fun, and learn valuable life skills like teamwork and communication. That’s why we’re excited to offer our Pickleball Summer Camps, perfect for campers of all skill levels. Located near Basking Ridge, NJ, Oak Crest’s pickleball program introduces children to this fast-growing, exciting sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Whether your child is brand new to pickleball or has some experience, our camps provide a fun and supportive environment to improve skills and enjoy the game!
Pickleball is a great sport for children because it’s easy to learn, encourages friendly competition, and offers a full-body workout that builds strength, coordination, and endurance. At Oak Crest, campers will learn the basic rules and techniques of pickleball, including how to serve, rally, and position themselves on the court. Our experienced instructors will guide children through drills to improve their hand-eye coordination, footwork, and strategy. As they progress, campers will have the chance to refine their skills in match play, where they’ll put their practice into action while having a great time with friends.
Our pickleball program is designed to be fun, engaging, and inclusive for all participants. We ensure that every camper receives individualized attention and instruction, whether they’re a beginner learning the fundamentals or an experienced player looking to develop more advanced skills. The goal is to keep things fun while fostering a love for the game and encouraging campers to challenge themselves to improve. Oak Crest’s low camper-to-instructor ratio ensures that each child gets the support and attention they need to develop their skills and grow as a player.
At Oak Crest, pickleball isn’t just about learning a sport—it’s about building teamwork and social skills. Even though pickleball can be played individually, it’s also a great game for doubles, where campers will learn to work together, communicate effectively, and strategize with their partners. These team-oriented activities foster strong social bonds, encourage collaboration, and help children develop respect for their teammates and opponents alike. Whether they’re working on their serve or supporting each other in a doubles match, campers develop important interpersonal skills while having fun.
Our pickleball camps also emphasize fitness and healthy living. Pickleball provides a great cardiovascular workout that improves agility, endurance, and flexibility. The fast-paced nature of the game keeps campers active while also helping them develop quick reflexes, balance, and coordination. We believe that staying active should be enjoyable, and pickleball provides the perfect balance of exercise, strategy, and fun to keep kids moving while having a blast!
Friendly competition is a big part of Oak Crest’s pickleball experience. Throughout the camp, children will have the opportunity to participate in fun, non-competitive tournaments and games that allow them to showcase their skills and celebrate each other’s progress. These tournaments are designed to foster sportsmanship, good-natured competition, and a sense of accomplishment, helping campers leave with newfound confidence and a love for the game.
If your child is ready to try something new, improve their skills, and enjoy the fun and excitement of pickleball this summer, Oak Crest Day Camp’s Pickleball Summer Camps are the perfect place for them!
