Camp Information
We feel fortunate to have great kids, instructors and conditions. The cool hours of the morning, and our location at Palo Alto High School are conducive to a fun, safe and nurturing atmosphere.
Camp runs all summer, every week, 9AM to NOON, Mon-Fri. (Ages 7-16 · All Levels.)
Passionate Instructors
Love what they do and Teach with Passion
Every year, our instructors develop as teachers and are endowed with more responsibility toward making camp a better experience. They are or were Palo Alto High School varsity players handpicked for their propensity toward teaching. Many are returning from college for the summer, and once again will pick up the torch. This year, as last, our instructors will write weekly evaluations. Each observes a number of players and provides information on their needs and short-term goals.
Flexibile & Fun
Flexibility & Fun creates a Successful program
Each year, our camp continues to improve through the implementation of new ideas for fun and learning. Last year, was the best yet. Introduction of the "8 Board", a device to learn body movement, "System 5", a program linking back swing to court position, and a new "games approach" to skill building were very successful additions. Also, feature tie-break matches on center court during our daily soda break, proved to be not only educational and fun, but very entertaining. Campers and instructors play a rousing, narrated match for all to see and enjoy. All levels of players are included.
