Windridge … a tradition of tennis, soccer and horseback riding and so much more for 50 years. Located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Windridge Tennis and Sports Camps stand unique in that they feature specialized sports programs within the framework of a traditional New England camp setting.

Since 1968, children have come to Windridge from most of the 50 states and many foreign countries to share in the Windridge experience. Campers make a commitment to hard work, good sportsmanship, and wholesome fun and laughter.

Within a warm and friendly environment, campers make lifelong friends while learning skills for life.

Windridge offers two- and three-week coed sessions from June through August, serving ages seven through 15.
