Attend a Connecticut squash camp at The Kellner Squash Center. One of the best colleges in the country, The Kelner Squash Center is a fitting home base for an International Squash Academy Camp. It features 10 international-sized courts, two of which are constructed with three color-paneled walls for easy spectator viewing, as well as pyramid-style amphitheater seating that enables up to 500 spectators to watch matches on all 10 courts simultaneously. Trinity was the first collegiate squash program with color-paneled glass courts, which require the use of a white ball..

Camp is open to all ages and ability levels. Each camper will be assessed and grouped with campers of similar age and ability levels. Adjustments to the groups may be made throughout the week to provide campers with opportunities to train with and compete against different players. Drills, games, and scrimmages are designed to help each camper learn, improve, and have fun!
