#1: Recreational - Red/Orange Stage Camp (4 - 7 years) Children begin to develop basic tennis skills using lower compression tennis balls on an appropriately sized court. Instruction, activities and games are all under the supervision of our professional tennis staff. #2: Progressive Competitive - Red/Orange Stages (6 - 10 years)Suitable for children who already participate in the Club’s progressive-competitive tennis clinics. This week-long program helps junior players accelerate their skill development. Most on-court sessions are supervised by our Progressive Competitive Lead Professional. #3: Recreational - Green Stage (8 - 16 years)Similar to Camp #1, but for children participating in the Club’s recreational tennis program who have advanced to a larger court size.

#4: Tournament Play (10 - 16 years)For children considering or already competing in Club events, this camp focuses on the technical skills required for successful tournament play.

Children in most camp programs swim every day. Please send a bathing suit with your child; the Club will provide towels. For your child’s safety, our pool is guarded by qualified lifeguards and the staff:camper ratio is lower in the pool (1:4). In addition, counsellors are in the water with campers to ensure their safety.

On the first day of each week, campers perform a deep-end swim test*. Returning campers are not required to do this swim test unless they feel their skill level has improved.

Colour-coded wristbands are issued by camp staff upon completion of the swim test.

Red - Ages 5 years and under, as well as non-swimmers. Swimmers wear a lifejacket and stay in the shallow end. Staff-to-child ratio is 1:4.

Yellow - Ages 6-9 years who have not passed the facility swim test**. Swimmers are always supervised and stay in the shallow end. They wear a lifejacket and are within arm’s reach of a counsellor. The staff:camper ratio is 1:4

Orange - Campers ages 6+ years who pass the facility swim test**. Swimmers are always supervised and stay in the shallow end. They are not required to wear a lifejacket. The staff:camper ratio is 1:4

Blue - Campers ages 6+ who pass the deep-end swim test* can swim anywhere in the pool and are supervised.

*The deep-end swim test determines the ability to swim two lengths of the pool without stopping or showing signs of struggle.

**The facility swim test determines the ability to swim two widths in the shallow end. Deep-end swim test records are kept by pool staff.

SWIM LESSONS - Swimming is a life skill and we prepare your child for free swim and familiarize campers with the pool rules, the pool facility and the pool staff. Creative Art, Multi-Sport, Sports Stars and Tiny Tots camps all have mandatory participation in swimming lessons. Swim lessons are not offered for Dance, Squash and Tennis camps.

Please complete the swim lesson registration form. We need as much information on your child’s swim level as possible to help us identify the appropriate group. If the swim level is unknown, children can be screened ahead of time at no additional cost during family swim times. The level recommended by the instructor will then be included on the Camper Swim Lesson form.

Lessons are included in the cost of camp for Tiny Tots, Multi-Sport, Sports Stars and Art camps.
