Harlem Tennis Center is run by the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program (HJTEP), a nonprofit founded in 1972 that has served over 28,000 youth from Central Harlem and the rest of NYC, using tennis as an entry point to academic achievement and wellness. HJTEP runs two full-day summer tennis camps for ages 5-18 at Howard Bennett Playground on West 135th Street: the Grassroots 135th Street Camp, aimed at beginning and developing players and focused on fundamentals, and the Tournament Training Camp, which offers high-performance training for players competing at sectional, national and collegiate levels. Listed camp cost is $480 per week, $2,750 for eight weeks full-day or $1,680 for eight weeks half-day, though HJTEP elsewhere describes its summer camps as offered free of charge, so parents should confirm cost directly.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Harlem Tennis Center directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
