"I just want to say thank you for the way you are running camp. Each of my kids are having a really great time at camp. Your flexibility with the days and times work wonderfully for my family. The kids are getting good tennis, having fun and learning lessons(effort, hard work and sportsmanship) at the same time. You are making lemonade out of the lemons that the pandemic gave you. You picked a great team of people."   Liz S, Parent of 4 campers

FAQ

Is your camp run by professionals?

You will get an experience run by full time, year-long professional coaches committed to inspiring and educating young kids. We were even awarded the best in Philly Camp. Our camp is run by Mark Spann who has had over 30 years of tennis camp experience. Given the diverse and well trained staff, we are able to best accommodate to all levels and ages of the campers.



How many hours of tennis will my child play per day?

Depending on the camp option you choose (full day, morning, afternoon), the hours varies. In general, the mornings (9:00am-12:00pm) consist of exercises, games, and drills. There is a short break at 10:30am for the Ultimate and Future Stars players. Morning Session ends at 12noon. The afternoon runs from 1 to 4 pm and with a focus on instructional matchplay, where each participant is paired with another (of similar age and/or level) to play competitive matches. For those who may be new to tennis, this is a great opportunity for participants to learn how to play and compete in matches. Coaches continue providing feedback, instruction and advice during the match to improve the campers’ game. We run mini tournaments, play team tennis, round robins, ladder matches and a multitude of other tennis formats.



Does morning, afternoon, or day camp fit my child?

We welcome campers of all ages at our camp. Once they arrive, we split them up into groups of similar age and level. Generally, for children under 8, we recommend that they start with mornings, as the instructional matchplay in the afternoon is often more competitive and requires that campers know how to serve, rally, and score. This is often difficult for young campers after a long morning. However, we welcome any young camper who is interested in matchplay and improving their tennis game. The morning and afternoon are not better or worse; they are simply different, as they focus on different activities. The morning involves more coach instruction, as they are running drills and exercises with the group. This is often ideal for participants who are looking to improve their tennis skills in a group setting. The afternoon consists of matchplay, which helps participants engage in friendly competition while still getting coached. Therefore, we often recommend both the morning and afternoon, as the afternoon match allows for participants to apply what they’ve learned in the morning drills. With that said, participants are free to choose which (AM or PM) better suits their current needs and interests.



How do I know my child will be challenged at your camp?

We are intentional about how we group campers, so that they are not only with similarly-aged peers, they are also with peers who are at a similar tennis skill level. We are also attuned to each camper’s individual needs and discuss their experience at camp often, so we are flexible and adjust accordingly. Please feel free to talk to us so that we can meet and exceed your expectations and needs.



What happens when it rains or gets really hot?

We thankfully have the luxury of being both an indoor and outdoor tennis facility. Therefore, if it rains or is too hot, we move inside. Typically we utilize both indoor and outdoor courts during the course of the day or week, weather permitting.

My child has never played before, would he/she fit in?

Absolutely! Camp is a great place to start playing the sport, because they will be surrounded by other peers who are just starting tennis as well. It is a fun, low-pressure environment to get any child started.



How does Lunch time work?

Full Day campers should pack their own lunches and refreshments. We encourage campers to have their own cooler to store drinks and snacks to be able to access during the days activities as well as their lunch. On arrival campers are directed to a spot that they use as their “home base” for the day. Campers are encouraged to bring their own large beach towel which they can use to sit down on. LUNCH TIME In June 2020 we constructed very large outdoor area under shade for the campers to adequately socially distance themselves while eating lunch.
