Program
(Camp Code: TNXDCO)
This year we are offering 3 weeks of day and half day camp for kids ages 8-18 of all skill levels. Campers have the option to choose between a Full Day program from 8:30am-4:00pm, an AM Half Day program from 8:30am-11:30am, or a PM Half Day program from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Full Day Campers bring their lunch or lunch is available for purchase.
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
10 and Under Tennis:
In addition to our all skills program, we offer a “10 and Under Tennis” program for kids ages 8-10, featuring the USTA’s successful new teaching format. This is an exciting new way kids 10 and under are learning to play tennis as well as compete. The courts are smaller and balls are low-compression so they are easier to hit, allowing kids to get to the ball and develop optimal swing patterns. It all makes it easy and fun for them to hit, play and score from the start, while developing skills that will last a lifetime. Please note: This program is optional and younger campers may opt to play regular tennis on the full courts. For more information on “10 and Under Tennis” programs nationwide, Click Here to check out the USTA website.
Dartfish video analysis will be used during the camp to analyze and improve your strokes and is provided at no extra charge for all campers. See your strokes compared to a top playing professional! Your Dartfish Mediabook will be posted to a private player locker on Dartfish.tv and reviewed with you by the staff at camp (click here for an example). The package includes:
- Stroke Analysis: Your Dartfish Mediabook contains videos of your strokes, plus side-by-side comparison with a pro, along with comments.
- Pro Stroke Library: Three months of access to Pro Stroke Library, featuring hundreds of strokes in both real and high speed.
- Camp highlights video*: This video of camp activities and friends all set to music will be something everyone will want to have and keep forever. (*Only offered at participating locations.)

My daughter loved her time at the Harvest House tennis camp. She came home full of enthusiasm for tennis and she keeps talking about how she can't wait for next summer. Thanks!

Awesome Improvements
I noticed some great improvements in my son's game. His backswing and footwork seemed to have really improved. He says he really enjoyed camp and would return next year.

Coaches Join In!
I really liked how the coaches joined in and played with us during the drills. It really helped us relate to them as players as well as coaches.
