Campers reside and participate in a safe and monitored environment throughout the camp week. Only Clemson University youth camps are permitted in the dormitories during the summer. The room assignments are made according to age and gender. There are no co-ed dorms. At Tiger Tennis Camp, the camp counselors reside in the same dormitories as the campers attending the camp. These counselors are always available to our campers 24 hours a day while camp is in session.

Please be sure to indicate your roommate requests on your application. Roommate preference must be requested by BOTH campers. If no request is made, a roommate will be assigned to you based on your age. Each dorm room accommodates 2 campers in a double occupancy room. If you have indicated your selection for a roommate, please be sure they have requested you! Roommate assignments are made prior to each camp session; changes made after May 1st cannot be guaranteed.

Suitemate requests can be made but there is no guarantee we can accommodate all the requests. You will be notified if we cannot meet your request. In the situation where we cannot meet your request, we will try to place friends close by on the same dormitory floor.
