Some may have participated in local tournaments and possess a UTR rating or are equivalent to a High School JV player.

    July 25, 2022: The mix of skill building, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition. My kids were worried that the camp would be extreme - either all beginners or all experts. The camp accommodated a big range of abilities. The counselors brought tons of fun energy. Clearly they have a winning formula.
