Join our Summer Tennis Camp at Philcrest! Campers will participate in tennis drills in the morning, learning basic strokes, court etiquette, and scorekeeping. They will engage in an introduction to match play, as well as participate in fun hand-eye coordination exercises. After lunch they will swim, play games, or play pickleball. They will have afternoon snacks in our pool and outdoor grill area. Safariβs Sanctuary will visit us once a month (June 10, July 8, August 5) with a selection of exotic animals for the campers to engage with and learn about.
All of our tennis drills are held on indoor courts. The campers will play games, pickleball, or work on crafts in the dining room in inclement weather.

Each camper will need to wear tennis shoes and bring a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen. Lunch and snack are provided.
