Northampton, described as "one of the only spots in New England with rural beauty that restores the soul", is the location of this adidas Tennis Camp. Smith is a top academic school, provides athletic facilities second to none in the area and is located only an hour from Hartford and under two hours from Boston.

The adidas Camp Director, Holy Cross Head Men's and Women's Coach Mike Lucas, brings a wealth of enthusiasm and tennis coaching experience to this site. Both programs have experienced a re-birth under his leadership. In 2003 the Lady Crusaders had their best season ever, finishing with a record of 18-2, and capturing the Division I New England Championships for the first time in school history. The Men's team in 2005 posted their first winning season in more than 20 years.
