TENNIS
Dear Parents and Campers, We are looking forward to having your child participate in our summer Tennis Camp at Germantown Academy. The following is some helpful information prior to your first day of camp. Drop off and pick up will be at the Stadium. All late arrivals and early dismissals will take place through the Welcome Center. Bring the following with you to camp each day: Tennis racquet (we do not provide equipment) Sneakers Bathing suit, towels are provided Snack Sunscreen and hat Water If you do not choose to purchase lunch, please bring one in an insulated lunch bag or cooler
Half-Day Program Campers: Your dismissal time is at 12:00 from the Welcome Center. The camp is designed for the beginner to intermediate player. Campers are grouped by age and ability. An experienced counselor will oversee 6-10 players per court. The day is divided into two tennis sessions, one in the morning and one after lunch and free swim. Each session will be divided into tennis units of 15-30 minutes in length. Each unit is designed to teach a specific skill. There will be instruction for forehands, backhands, serves, volleys and specialty shots, (e.g. lobs and drop shots). Every Friday there is a small tournament (primarily for the intermediate level) as well as the tennis Olympics for everyone. In the event of rain, we will follow a modified schedule of activities indoors. Again, thank you for your interest in the Tennis Camp at Germantown Academy Summer Programs. I look forward to teaching your child about the game of tennis. Feel free to contact me. Sincerely Dan Sullivan Tennis Camp Director 267.405.7265 daniel.sullivan@gacamp.org
