Summer
Our Summer camps are scheduled Monday - Friday, every week throughout July and August. If you want to be notified when camp registration opens, please create an account with us. You will receive an email notification once it opens.The Half-Day camps offer an action-packed, high-energy, playground-style training environment where kids will learn and improve the basic tactics and techniques of tennis. Each day consists of numerous play and practice activities and opportunities to train and compete in teams and individually and to participate in relay races and obstacle courses to improve their tennis coordination and overall physical literacy.
The Full-Day camp combines the Half-Day tennis camp with a half-day music and art activities program for a full week of non-stop fun and learning. Our goal is to teach and improve your child's tennis and athletic skills to raise their success and retention in sports as well as in music and arts in an ultra-fun, engaging, and positive environment that builds their confidence, independence, teamwork and leadership.
On the first day of each camp and based on their playing ability, players will be grouped into either level 1 (who are learning how to Serve, Rally, and Score) or level 2 (who already know how to Serve, Rally, and Score), and then begin their progress accordingly.
