What do I need to bring to camp?
Your camp will be held under cover on individually fenced courts at Pictona 2.  You will want to bring a water bottle and some sunscreen in case you decide to play outside.  Pictona is a mile away from beautiful beaches so you may want to bring some beach attire, but we won’t hold it against you if all you want to do is play pickleball!

What happens if it rains during my camp?
Your camp will be held on courts under cover, so rainy weather will have no effect on your camp. 

What about meals and accommodation?
Pictona has an onsite restaurant called The Kitchen that has a full menu and bar.  Lunch for each day is included in your camp fee.  Other meals can be eaten at The Kitchen, or at one of the hundreds of restaurants in the Daytona area! There is also and end-of-camp dinner that will be served under the Pavilion at Pictona. The dinner is also included in your camp fee.

Will I get to play pickleball outside of camp hours?
Answer is a resounding “Yes!”.  The Pictona pickleball community is a thriving one, and you will have the opportunity to play lots of pickleball after camps ends.  Looking for more instruction?  You can also book a private or small group lesson with one of our instructors!
