Join Us for a One-of-a-Kind Tennis Camp in Costa Rica

Spend five nights in Costa Rica training directly with Cole Shoults and Coach Troy at a tropical resort with six on-site tennis courts.

The retreat combines four focused morning coaching sessions with optional match play, fitness, fresh meals, and some of the Arenal region’s most memorable experiences. Visit La Fortuna Waterfall, walk through the rainforest canopy at Mistico Hanging Bridges, and relax in natural hot springs.

Every major detail is arranged for you, including accommodations, meals, scheduled transportation, tennis, and included excursions. You can arrive ready to play, improve, explore, and connect with a welcoming group of travelers.

Train Directly with Cole Shoults

Lux Group Ventures has partnered with Cole Shoults to create an experience centered on high-quality tennis play, Costa Rican adventures, and genuine connection and relaxation with other players.

Cole is a former NCAA Division I player at the University of Toledo who now trains internationally and competes in professional Futures tournaments. A self-described tennis nut, he has studied different academies, coaches, and training systems around the world in search of useful drills, strategies, technical details, and performance methods.

Throughout the camp, Cole will share those insights through focused tennis sessions designed to help players improve their technique, movement, decision-making, and understanding of the game.
