Housing
Participants will be staying in the air-conditioned Starin Hall suites. For each group of four campers, these dorms provide four separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living space, and a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. You must provide your own bedding.
Meals
We have found adults prefer to avoid the student dining halls, so plan to eat out off-campus, or bring your own food for meals in your kitchen.
Camp Fees
The cost of the camp is $395. Fee includes all tennis activities, housing, Saturday’s dinner social at Cozumel, refreshments, and a Tshirt. A $100 non-refundable deposit must be paid to hold your spot at camp. Enrollment is limited to 48 campers, so register early. Check-in will be at 1:30p.m. on Friday, check-out will be at 3:30p.m. on Sunday.
