More excited about tennis
July 31, 2017: She left camp so excited about tennis she didn't want to put her racquet down!! My daughters peanut allergy was well cared for and she had a good experience on campus. Mike Murphy made a great impression with my 13 year old, he showed her trust, knowledge, understanding and leadership (her words!)

Overall the camp was great
July 4, 2014: I think players should be grouped by ability and also age. A good player needs to play with the same level or higher to make it challenging. Overall the camp was great and will consider going next summer.

great experience, improve food
August 1, 2014: The lunches that were provided were very good. However, the dinners and the breakfast were bland, mediocre and no selection. Given that we were playing tennis 7 hours a day, there should be better oversight and thought put into nutrition for the young players. Otherwise, it was a great experience and fun!
