Adult Camp: (June 17 - August 10)

Designed for all level club players from beginner to advanced. Emphasis is on teaching tennis skills and strategies, while affording the advanced player the opportunity to fine-tune his skills. Ideal for players who want to play lots of tennis, improve their game, meet other tennis enthusiasts and have fun.

Campers will hit more forehands, backhands, overheads, serves and lobs in a morning than in weeks of playing. And private lessons afford players the opportunity to work on any weakness in their game. The Swarthmore tennis experience will improve skills with quality instruction, giving one added self-confidence and a new enthusiasm for the game.

Maximum instructor to camper ratio is never more than 4:1 and campers are carefully grouped with others of the same ability level. Program includes special game-sharpening drills, round robins, strategy sessions, private lessons and videotape analysis.

Highlights

	Minimum of 5 hours instruction and supervised match play every full day
	Maximum 4 campers per instructor
	1-3 Private lessons at no charge
	Videotaping
	12 Outdoor All-Weather Courts
	6 Indoor Courts (3 feature Rebound Ace, a cushioned surface used at the Australian Open)
