Supervision
Our staff considers supervision of campers a 24-hour-a-day responsibility,
and one we take very seriously. Campers are closely monitored when
playing outdoors to encourage adequate fluid in-take and to prevent heat
exhaustion. Campers will also be accompanied by members of our
staff at all tennis and non-tennis activities. Parents may be assured that
their children are in responsible hands at all times.
* Due to overcrowding, no swimming is allowed.
