Had an absolute blast!
July 01, 2017: My son had an absolute blast and his strokes are much improved. He can't wait to go back next year! I'd love to see an earlier "bedtime" for the 10&under group. My son, 9, normally goes to bed at 9 each night. I know bedtime at camp was 10pm or later and I could tell he wasn't getting enough sleep. After we picked him up in the car he was sound asleep within 10 minutes. Other than that- it was a great experience for him! Thanks so much and we are already looking forward to next year.

camp and coaches were just awesome
July 9, 2016: Thank you for a wonderful camp experience. Sally had the greatest experience and learned so much! She loved it. She loved the glow and dark tennis, thought that was amazing and I learned that if they are out after 10 they are playing tennis! So, no worries, I think your camp and coaches were just awesome! Sally's first time away at an overnight camp was just great!

better rain day activities
7/31/2015 - Maybe the rained out activities could be better planned.. and more organized.. since in July it rained out on some of the camp days. Sometimes these activities were intense and did not get chance to get any medicines needed.

coaching skills were below average
6/27/2015 - The director and the majority of the staff/coaches were excellent, but the particular one my son was with the majority of the week was not excellent. She taught in a way that was not encouraging and was unfortunately not skilled as a coach. She may have been a great player but her coaching skills were below average.

counting the days till next year

filled her with confidence
6/27/2015 - My 9 year old was hesitant to attend this camp because it was a full day of mostly tennis. I felt like it could make or break her interest in tennis. Well, it reinvigorated her! Not only did she get more aggressive with her strokes, but it filled her with confidence, as well. She wants to go back next year and spend the night! Thanks, coaches, great job!
