In conjunction with tennis instruction, campers will take part in daily NJTL Life Skills lessons. Tennis racquets, equipment, balls, and water will be provided. Campers may bring their own racquet, towel, snack, and water. Periodic breaks will be taken.
Make-up policy
If your camper is signed up for camp on a weekly basis and misses a day, the camper may attend a day of another week as a makeup. Unfortunately, there are no make up days offered for Summer Pass participants.
