This summer, the Golf & Tennis Academy (GTA) founded by Juan Arteaga, Jr., and Marisa Farrell, lifelong sports enthusiasts and Casa de Campo villa owners will be launched in Casa de Campo with all-inclusive two- and four-week golf and tennis academies this summer for boys and girls ages 10 to 16.
Based in Miami and parents themselves, Juan Arteaga, Jr., and Marisa Farrell were inspired to create the Golf & Tennis Academy (GTA) by Casa de Campo’s unrivalled beauty and sports facilities – what better place to host a summer camp!? And so the Golf & Tennis Academy (GTA) was formed to provide an alternative to the typical sports camp, offering a more complete experience that included many activities beyond traditional sports instruction.
The camps are scheduled to take place from July 14th to July 27th and July 28th to August 10th (campers may enroll for both sessions – from July 14th to August 10th) and are divided into a Golf Camp and a Tennis Camp. Both options are available for borders and non-borders.
Golf camp
The Golf Camp features daily instruction under the direction of Casa de Campo’s golf professional staff, including Eric Lillibridge, Director of Instruction at the resort’s Jim McLean Golf School. Along with learning every part of the game (with a 5-to-1 student-teacher ratio) students get to play the famous Casa de Campo courses; Teeth of the Dog, Links and Dye Fore – 63 holes of challenging golf designed by legendary architect Pete Dye.
Tennis Camp
The Tennis Camp is for any young adult wishing to take their game to the next level. Expert instruction will be given by a team of USPTA-certified pros with a 4-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Group clinics will include hitting drills, serving skills, footwork, serve and volley and much more – which will be enhanced by match play everyday.
Whether your child prefers golf or tennis, both camp options also include full-time adult supervision, lodging at the Pete Dye Golf Lodges, all meals, weekly laundry service, transportation around the resort grounds and nightly activities. Campers will be treated to daily trail rides, Astronomy Night and outings to Altos de Chavon – the recreated Medieval European village and artists’ community situated within the resort high above the Chavon River, where art, language and cultural classes are available from the prestigious Parson School of Design. Skeet and sporting clay shooting, as well as polo instruction will be offered based on each camper’s assessed competency and interest in each sport. A special awards banquet closes out each session.
Daily non-golf activities include swimming (pool and ocean); beach time; soccer, volleyball, and other sports; movies; and access to GTA’s on-site recreation center.
