Loved all of the tennis games
July 29, 2019: He loved all the tennis games (King of the Court and Jail) and everyone seemed to know who he was, which was beautiful to see. He also liked that he played with different people, and one could switch any time

Can't wait to come back next summer!
July 26, 2019: The best feedback he has given to us is that he wants to come back to the camp next summer. He has been playing a lot of tennis, the teachers had a great attitude as well as the other children in camp. He barely speaks English and everybody has helped him a lot. Thanks for those awesome days.

Lots of match play
August 10, 2018: Sophia’s favorite part of camp was when they played against each other. She felt that she got more out of actually playing as opposed to other camps that focused heavily on drills with very little match play

Teachers worked with the kids on their game
July 28, 2017: The camp seems to have improved since 2015. Dividing the kids into two age groups was a good idea. Teachers seemed to be working with the kids on their game. Noam was in good spirits at the end othe day. He felt more confident. Having camp extend until Friday would make it better, and a better deal.

Loved learning about the sport
August 8, 2017: Victor loved learning about the sport - he is having fun throwing around lingo about his volleys... We're hoping this sets him down a path where he continues practicing and learning more about tennis, practicing/working hard, and competition.

amazing staff
August 12, 2016: Ryan, the assist. Director at Amherst College was amazing. So funny, didn't treat the kids like babies, and did such a good job entertaining the kids during a rain delay and made sure our daughter was comfortable in her dorm.

coaches are great
August 12, 2016: All the coaches are great, but it's really fun to have a different one every day of the week. Unfortunately, I was there for several weeks, often on the highest courts, and the same coach remained on those courts the entire week.
— Samantha L. Camper

son loved the camp
July 27, 2016: My son loved the camp. I wish there was a better area for drop off/pick up. I wish there was a more of 'get to know you' between parents and coaches. Tennis camp we previously attended had lot more on these and I think it helps.

tennis instruction was outstanding
7/27/2015 -The tennis instruction was outstanding. My daughter felt that she made great improvements in her play. The Camp provided a perfect level of supervision mixed with autonomy; which was important for a tween. I wish there had ben more tweens/teens but it may be that the older kids attend camps later in the summer (she attended the first two weeks).
