Attend a Connecticut squash camp at The Kohn Squash Pavilion, which stands at the top of the school’s entrance driveway, is the home of Westminster’s Boys’ and Girls’ Squash programs. The facility, which opened in the winter of 2000, is arguably the finest squash facility in New England. Located just outside of Hartford, CT, this is the perfect site for an International Squash Camp.

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!
