Camp Questions & Answers
Can I sign up for more than 1 session/program?
Absolutely! Campers are encouraged to attend multiple sessions. Each program delivers something unique to help players excel in all areas of the game. Many campers will attend more than one session to further refine their skills, compete against new players, or choose a session with a different program focus.
Can I sign up for 2 sessions that are at the same time?
Please check the times for the sessions you are signing up for carefully! We do have some sessions that are during the same time block. Unfortunately, a camper cannot attend sessions that are occurring at the same time.

August 13, 2022: Caroline came home the first day full of enthusiasm and excitement. She had so many stories to tell about her play, how much she loved the coaches, and feedback she was given. The timing of the camp was great, as it was a week before tryouts, which I think really helped boost her confidence.
