Here's what others have had to say about Essex, Vermont's Culinary Resort & Spa and New England Tennis Holidays at Sugarbush.
"Staff was accommodating to one's tennis needs; camp fosters congenial social atmosphere"—M.B., Adv. Int., August 2010
"stengths: learning is fun. 4 to 1 campers vs staff or better. Very Capable staff. Group cohesion. All strenghts are leveraged. Exc. courts.
weakness: not enuf singles strategy coaching"—J.G., Int., August 2010
"This is a wonderful tennis camp for all levels. We travel as a group of four and have experienced nothing but the best from this camp. We start planning for the next year about as soon as we return home. Rob is just a great tennis instructor as stated in many of the reviews. He is extremely patient and thorough when teaching a new idea or concept. He keeps the camp moving so you always feel you are going and not wasting time in between drills. The accommodations are superb and staff is extremely friendly. I was also asked by one of the owners (a tennis player) if everything was as expected in the camp and told things would even be better for the next year. They have created a good team and are striving to keep campers happy and coming back. I would not hesitate to recommend this camp, we all enjoy it very much."—N.K., Adv. Int., August 2010

"There are many strengths: great location, wonderful pros who know how to teach and are very friendly and lots of fun. I attend the camp on my own and always feel very well taken care of. I would recommend NETH to anyone who loves tennis and wants to improve their game."—J.S., Int., August 2010
"Outstanding teachers, very friendly. Impressed that they joined you for dinner and let them bend their ears off hours.
I was impressed with the number of returnees -
including one couple who have gone to at least a dozen of their camps, a few of the visits at their Florida site.
Weakness: little hard to locate site, tho not problem for me. Courts are tiered,tho again,not a problem. Strongly recommend."—D.N., Int., August 2010
"I have been attending this camp for years and it never fails to satisfy. This is the first time I have been to their gorgeous Sugarbush location. The pros are always phenomenal. I really enjoye the small group instruction as well as the large group social aspect for meals. I can't wait to go again next summer!"—M.C., Adv. Int., August 2010
"This was my first tennis getaway and it was great. The instructors were friendly and helpful. They gave individual attention as needed and made it fun. Having meals together was a great way to get to know the other players."—L.F., Int., August 2010
"Great tennis instruction; fun drills that helped reinforce what we were learning; beautiful setting. Overall,I would highly recommend NETH."—K.M., Adv. Int., August 2010
"NE Tennis Holidays provides superb,individualized tennis instruction within a fun, fast-paced, group format. My husband, myself, and my two twenty-something year olds just returned from a glorious week at Sugarbush! I always learn something new at this camp that sticks with me all year long. The pros are very attentive and insightful, not to mention fun and very personable! The resort itself cannot be beat in terms of beauty and luxurious accommodations. I give this program an A+!"—S.A., Int., August 2010
"Kurt and staff provide a very professional and relaxed atmosphere that is perfect for the recreational player such as myself. They meet you at your skill level and provide you with instruction and tips to elevate your play to the next level. They made each day fun, yet filled with great tennis intruction."—J.M., Int., August 2010
"We have experienced other tennis camps/resorts, from New Hampshire to South Carolina. However, this one, N.E.T.H., is surely the absolute best!!! The teachers are marvelous, all giving us very personalized, not rote, commentaries throughout. They are serious here about tennis, as it is a five hour daily program - fantastic fun!! The Har-True courts are great; indoor courts here too, just in case of rain. The food at both restaurants is wonderful. The condo's are most welcoming and comfortable. There is a lot to do when not playing tennis, as well. We strongly urge you to come here and learn to play better tennis - you won't regret it! Plus, the price is right!!!"—C.S., Adv. Int., August 2010
