Dates: June 28 – July 13, 2026
Locations: Amsterdam, Netherlands & Hamburg, Germany
Elite International Competition & Training
This trip is designed for junior players ready to test themselves against the world's best. Campers will train and compete in Amsterdam before traveling to Hamburg. The itinerary centers around competing in two prestigious European Grand Prix Tournaments:
- The Dutch Junior Open (Amsterdam, July 2-5): Rated as one of the top three most significant junior competitions globally, alongside the British and US Junior Opens.

Beyond the matches, players will build a strong World Junior Squash Ranking (WJSR) via SquashLevels. This exposure offers clearer international benchmarking, fairer seeding, and greater visibility for talent.
Cultural Immersion & Team Spirit
This is more than just a squash camp; it is a unique travel experience. Players will explore the historic treasures of two major European cities.

TESTIMONIALS
The German Junior Open was a blast with many talented juniors. The atmosphere was great with MSquash cheering on everyone and making the venue a loud place. I had a fun tournament with tough matches which made it very worth while. I would love to play this tournament again and I will never forget the friends I made from it.

I really enjoyed my time in Germany. My favorite part of the tournament was how I got to spend my whole day at Sportwerk supporting my teammates. I especially enjoy international tournaments because you get to see a lot of different playing styles.

The support the group had for each other not only during matches but throughout all activities was amazing. With all of the coaches helping us along the way, everyone stuck together and made memories none of us will ever forget.
