Camp director was Awesome!
July 10, 2021: Matthew loved all the games and competing. He made friends too. His only complaint was the rain and that it was a bit of a drive. His sister, KK, also attended and enjoyed the time playing tennis. She was encouraged by coach feedback too. Erik, camp director, is AWESOME. He managed the group and was very involved. He also communicated very well with parents.

Encouraged to work hard and had fun!
June 26, 2021: Upon pickup each day, Ingrid reported that she was encouraged to work hard, but had so much fun (even when the weather did not cooperate). She especially liked the coaches, including Erik. It sounds like he had good energy and humor. She loved that he used the term “winners and learners,” rather than “winners and losers.”
