Highlight of summer
July 13, 2018: This camp is a highlight of my son’s summer

We will definitely send her back next year
July 13, 2018: The first day my daughter was not super excited, she didn't understand all of the games and felt as though many of the kids knew things she had not yet been taught, she was a bit overwhelmed. After speaking with Coach Chau at dropoff the next morning, she came home that afternoon so enthusiastic and excited. The rest of the week she was just bubbling over with stories and explanations and really felt as though her game was improving. (She even got the award for "Most Improved") We will definitely send her back next year.

Loves camp
July 18, 2017: Holden LOVES the Nike Camp at Lewis and Clark and wouldn't miss it - the amazing thing is he loves it as much now as a 14 y/o JTT player as he did when he was just a little guy starting - 4? 5? years ago. I have been impressed in the way the camp has grown with him, remained fun, competitive, it really is his favorite week of the summer, Jimmy has provided terrific continuity through the years and having a fresh supply of new Lewis and Clark players every summer helps mix it up.

Well organized
August 8, 2017: As a parent, I appreciated Jimmy Chau organizing to start and end earlier due to the unusual heat. The dome can use more ventilation, but I liked that it was not in the sun.

Caring staff
July 29, 2017: The camper director was wonderful. My child was having a very difficult time because she was the least skilled child at camp. The director personally made sure that the games and activities matched her skill set. He made a small sessions for her to learn skills, he shortened activities when she appeared frusterated and checked in with her throughout the day that make sure she was comfortable. I'm blown away at the extent the director (jimmy) cared for one kid who really loves tennis, but just isn't very good. Thank you.

very attentive to each kid and offered good feedback
July 15, 2016: I thought my kids' tennis abilities improved by taking part in this camp. They enjoyed it overall. Jimmy was great. He was very attentive to each kid and offered good feedback to us as parents and skills-wise. They did a good job teaching my kids new things and helping them improve.

Director & coaches were outstanding
July 10, 2015: Director & coaches were outstanding and the format and venue were good. The only reason it isn't something we would do again is that my son, at just-turned-16, was the oldest. However, the coaches were awesome at customizing some activities to be sure he got challenged while he was at camp. That was very appreciated.
