Rancho Arbolitos Swim and Tennis Camps are outdoor day camps directed by Pacific Swim Team and Chira Tennis Academy. The combined swim-and-tennis camp serves children ages 5–12. The tennis camp registration also includes beginner to intermediate players ages 5–14.
The camp is built around two core sports. Tennis takes place in the morning, with instruction focused on basic strokes, rules, drills, and engaging games. Swim camp follows later in the day and covers competitive strokes, swim drills, turns, water confidence, and games. Younger or less experienced swimmers can be placed in a learn-to-swim lesson program with instructors in the water.
The camp has a practical, active feel. Kids are outdoors, moving between courts, lunch, and pool time. Most campers join both tennis and swim, but families can choose only one part if that works better. Full-day campers are guided through the transition from tennis to swimming, which makes the day easier for kids who are doing both.
This camp will likely appeal to children who enjoy sports, water, games, and a social summer atmosphere. It is especially useful for beginners and intermediate players who want instruction without an overly intense competitive setting.

Rancho Arbolitos Swim and Tennis Camps are day camps. Campers attend during the day and return home after their scheduled program. The camp does not include overnight lodging, cabins, dorm rooms, or residential supervision.
The main camp day can combine tennis and swimming. Tennis runs in the morning from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Swimming runs from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Full-day campers stay for the full 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. schedule, with staff handling the transition from tennis to swimming.
Families can also choose a tennis-only or swim-only schedule. Swim-only campers arrive at 11:00 a.m. and join the group for lunch before swim instruction begins. Tennis registration includes half-day and full-day formats.
Because this is a local day camp, families should plan for daily drop-off, pick-up, sports gear, swim gear, lunch, snacks, and water.
The camp schedule includes a lunch break between the tennis and swim portions of the day. Swim-only campers arrive at 11:00 a.m. and should bring lunch Monday through Thursday to eat with the group before swimming begins.
Campers should bring snacks, lunch, and plenty of water for the swim portion. Tennis campers should bring water, and full-day tennis campers should also bring lunch. Since the camp combines court time, outdoor play, and pool activity, food and hydration are important parts of the day.
Wednesday has an ice cream or popsicle day. Friday has pizza day for full-day campers and swim participants. Pizza is provided on Friday for full-day or swim campers only.
The food setup is simple and camp-style. Families pack the regular lunch and snacks, while the camp adds a fun midweek treat and a Friday pizza tradition.
Rancho Arbolitos uses several safety practices for camp. Campers are divided into groups by age and ability. This helps children work at a level that fits their swimming and tennis experience.
The camp also limits the number of participants and keeps campers in their group for the week. This gives the program a steadier group structure and helps children stay with familiar peers and instructors.
Swimming instruction includes different pathways for different abilities. Campers working on swim skills cover competitive strokes, drills, and turns. Younger children or those who do not yet swim are placed in the learn-to-swim program with instructors in the water.
Campers need to bring sport-appropriate items: a swimsuit, towel, hat, sunscreen, snacks, lunch, and water for swimming; and a racket, hat, sunscreen, water, and tennis shoes for tennis. These packing rules help children come prepared for outdoor sports, sun, pool time, and movement.
The swim registration form collects each camper’s age, EpiPen status, water-safe status, and medical concerns or allergies. The tennis registration form also asks for emergency contact information, medical issues or allergies, and EpiPen status.
The swim consent form authorizes participation in Pacific Swim Camp activities, including instruction, break times, and pre- or post-activity time at Rancho Arbolitos. It also authorizes a coach or club representative to obtain emergency care from a professional if the listed contacts cannot be reached.
The tennis waiver asks families to confirm that the camper is physically fit to participate and has no health-related reason preventing participation. It also states that participants are responsible for their own medical coverage.
Campers should bring sunscreen, hats, water, and activity-specific gear. This matters because the camp includes outdoor tennis, swimming, lunch outdoors, and warm-weather activity.
Rancho Arbolitos Swim and Tennis Camps have a classic summer rhythm. Kids start with tennis, move to lunch, then shift to swimming in the afternoon if they are staying for the full day. That court-to-pool flow gives the camp a relaxed country-club summer feel.
The camp also builds in simple traditions kids can look forward to. Wednesday brings ice cream or popsicles. Friday brings pizza for full-day and swim campers. The camp page also mentions fun, games, and prizes, which gives the week a more playful feel beyond regular skill practice.
Swimming adds its own traditions through water games, stroke work, and pool time. Tennis brings drills, basic rules, and engaging games for beginners and intermediate players.
The camp works best for children who like a predictable daily pattern with enough variety to stay interested. A camper may learn tennis strokes in the morning, eat with friends at lunch, and spend the afternoon building confidence in the pool.
Rancho Arbolitos Swim and Tennis Camps combine sports instruction with outdoor summer fun. Tennis camp focuses on beginner to intermediate skills, including basic strokes, rules, drills, and tennis games. Swim camp covers the four competitive strokes, drills, turns, games, and confidence-building in the water. Children who need a more basic swim pathway can join the learn-to-swim lesson program.
Separate registration forms are required for the swim portion and tennis portion.
Swim-only campers should arrive at 11:00 a.m. and bring lunch Monday through Thursday.
Pizza is provided on Friday for full-day or swim participants only.
Tennis cancellations made less than 7 days before camp starts receive camp credit for a future session, subject to availability.
Once tennis camp has begun, missed days due to illness, vacation, or personal reasons are not refunded.
Swim registration requires a separate form for each child when they are enrolled in different weeks.
Camp availability should be confirmed before registering.
