The Tennis program is designed to instruct the beginning player in basic techniques and offer the experienced player advanced skills and game strategy. Previous training is not required. Campers are evaluated on the first day of attendance and placed in the proper ability groups. The daily program offers conditioning exercises; skill instruction in grip, forehand, backhand and serve; game strategy in singles and doubles play; and instruction in the care and selection of equipment. Most lessons are taught in the form of a game. Each daily session ends with a non-stressful competition that is fun for campers. A tennis racket is required. Athletic sneakers are acceptable footwear, except those with black bottoms.



Note:

Open to girls and boys entering grades 2 through 9.

There is a $35 surcharge per two-week session for additional materials and staff requirements.

A tennis racquet is required. Athletic sneakers are acceptable except those with black bottoms.



Schedule:

Half of the day consists of tennis and the other half in a recreation group of 8-10 campers in the same grade and gender for lunch, instructional swim and recreational sports.
