Camp Directors Steve Beans and Laura DiPaola, have been teaching professionals (USPTA) in the area for more than 10 years. We will provide young players the opportunity to improve their tennis game and make new friends. Students will be placed based on level of ability, along with friendship if coming with a friend. Classes will focus each week on a specific

 theme for the day:  Campers will receive one T-shirt for the summer. Register by Friday before new session begins.
