Camp participants.
It’s summertime, so that means Junior Summer Tennis Camp. This year, we held camp for seven weeks (three weeks in June, and four weeks in July). Our camps ran from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., Monday – Thursday. The children’s ages ranged from 5 to 14 years old.
The first hour and a half was mostly tennis drills, fun, and games (Dodgeball, four square). Lunch was at 12:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse, where the kitchen staff prepared “kid-friendly meals.” The last hour of camp was either the pool, driving range, or more tennis. Due to the summer heat, most kids chose the pool. Our camp kids consisted mostly of members of children, or grandchildren on vacation.
Head Tennis Pro Daniel Camacho oversaw running the camp. Tennis Pro Carolyn Lawver and I helped as well. Daniel and I gave away prizes at the end of the week for team and individual events. The number of kids participating each week varied from six to fifteen.
Starting in early September, we’ll be starting after school classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 to 5 p.m. For more info, call 239-336-0430.
