Progressive Tennis uses a system of modified courts, racquets and balls scaled to maximize learning for different levels and/or age groups. Bring your own racquet, running shoes (no sandals), & water bottle. Loaner racquets are available if required.

Red Ball (For ages 6+) Introduces the foundational skills of tennis with an oversized low-compression ball on a smaller court. Players learn basic rally, serve and net play skills along with activities that build tennis-specific coordination. Rules of play and good sport behaviours introduced.

Orange Ball (For ages 8+) Played on a 3/4 size court with a low-compression ball. Players learn how to serve, rally, score and play at the net.

This camp begins with a demonstration and instruction, then hands-on making of projects with assistance. All materials and tools are provided. Learn basic knife handling, safety and sharpening, make a twig pen that really writes, a rubber band shooter, slip bark wooden whistles, a boomerang, a flying non-electric helicopter, hiking staff, and a space shuttle type airplane that really flies.

Level 2 - Prerequisite: To join the Level 2 camp, participants must have completed the Level 1 camp in a prior year, or have previously taken Carving for Kids with Rick Wiebe.

Former carving students will enjoy the challenge of working on projects that will stretch their abilities. A range of options will be offered, or come with ideas for things you’d like to carve. Everyone will continue to have fun with carving and growing their skills in this basic art form.
