Smarty 2015 Summer Camp Guide: Midwood Tennis Academy

written by Guest Blogger March 24, 2015

Today’s Smarty Summer Camp Guide is by our friends at Midwood Tennis Academy.

For the 6th Year, Midwood Tennis Academy will offer Summer Tennis Camps at Tom Sykes Recreation Center at Dilworth Elementary. We want our campers to improve their tennis skills, but most importantly, we want them to have fun, make new friends and to develop a love for the game of tennis.

Camps will focus mainly on tennis, but will also include a variety of other sports that teach not only athletic skills like balance, coordination, and quickness, but life skills including teamwork, character and personal responsibility. We will host a half day camp from 8:30-1:30 and a full day camp from 8:30-5:00. Here are the dates.
