registration deadline
The online registration system works best with Firefox and Chrome.
Due to high demand, many camps fill prior to the registration deadline and early registration is recommended. Once a camp reaches capacity or the registration deadline, we are unable to add additional campers. Walk-up registrations are not accepted for any camp or clinic.
In the event a camp does not reach capacity, the following registration deadlines apply:
- Overnight Camps close 2 days prior to the camp.
- Day Camps and Clinics close at 11:59pm the night before camp.

The tournament training weeks are designed for junior players that would like to improve their tournament play. These weeks will involve intense on-court training, match play as well as exposure to various off-court training methods designed to help improve endurance, strength, and power. Mornings consists of off-court physical training and on-court technical training with one of our highly qualified coaches - Princeton Women’s Head Coach Gail Ramsay and Princeton Men’s Head Coach Sean Wilkinson. In the afternoons, the juniors get a chance to incorporate what they learned from the morning into conditioned games and match play scenarios. Each day has a different theme with focus ranging from applying pressure with good length to attacking the front of the court. This is a great way to start your summer training off with a bang and learn a few things that can help make the difference when tournament play resumes.
During the Tournament Training Sessions, a 3:1 camper to counselor ratio is maintained.

The Elite and Junior weeks are a great way for young players of all skill levels (elite, intermediate and beginners) to learn and improve their squash game while experiencing the fun of summer camp at Princeton University. Players will spend the majority of the mornings focusing on improving the technical aspects of their game including proper grip, proper swing and basic court movement. These skills will be challenged in the afternoons with conditioned games and match play, where each individual can practice what they learned in the morning in more game-like scenarios. These weeks offer each camper the opportunity to learn from some of the top coaches in the country including Princeton Women’s Head Coach Gail Ramsay and Princeton Men’s Head Coach Sean Wilkinson. Hopefully each camper will take away a few things that will help them to become a better squash player for the upcoming year.
During the Elite & Junior Sessions, a 4:1 camper to counselor ratio is maintained.
