Of course! At Bolster Tennis Camp we want to make sure all our campers have an enjoyable stay and we endeavour to accommodate friends together. Simply include your child's friend's name in the box upon registration. As we often have campers who come by themselves to camp we try to sort accommodation by age as well as friends and therefore cannot guarantee that large groups of friends will be in the same dorm whilst trying to remain inclusive of all our campers.
