• July 22-26

CAMP PROGRAMS

We offer Full Day (8:45am-4:00pm) and Overnight Camp options that run Monday-Friday. This camp is offered for campers of all skill levels and for ages 9-18.

All sessions are open to players of all abilities unless otherwise noted. All participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. There will be a 1.5-hour evaluation on the first day of camp after check-in. From there, we will separate players based on ability first, followed by age if necessary. Adjustments can be made during camp.

• All Skills Program: The All Skills program is designed for tennis players of any skill level and background. Campers will learn fundamentals and improve upon their game.
