THE NEWSPAPER FOR SUMMER CAMP 2014

Q How does the new online registration
work for Summer Camp? A Review the Camp brochure or application for dates, times, and cost. Camp information is available on our website at tucsonracquetclub.com. Then, click on the link for online registration. From there you will be led through the registration process, create your online account, print your receipt, and receive email confirmation. Relax and wait for summer!

Q Is camp safe? A In our many years in the camp business,

safety has been our first priority. The low student to instructor ratios allow for close supervision and the safety of our campers while providing a healthier and more productive learning environment. The pool is permanently staffed with two certified lifeguards in addition to our own Summer Camp staff.

information on "Surviving Camp".

Q How do campers survive Tucsons summer

heat? A Creative scheduling! "Pee Wee" tennis and basketball (outside) are scheduled in the cool early morning hours. Later "Pee Wee" activities are either indoors or in the pool. "All Sports" activities are rotated every forty-five minutes. Sports are creatively switched between cool - off sports (swimming, martial arts, volleyball, racquetball) and outdoor sports (tennis and basketball). We schedule water and Gatorade breaks, insist on hats and sunscreen, and keep a watchful eye for potential problems. Lunch is a full one hour of "cool-down" and relaxation. For more information visit our website at:

Q Can I use my Racquet Club Member Account to pay for Camp? A No. Online Registration requires a credit card or E-check. Plan accordingly.

Q How can I keep track of all my belongings while at camp? A Put everything in a backpack or sports bag and clearly label all belongings with a permanent marker.. We have an engraver on site to permanently mark racquets. Pee Wees are provided with cubbies for storage. Tennis, Soccer and All Sports Campers keep their backpacks or sports bags with them.

Q Whats for lunch? A Cool stuff! I meant to

say hot stuff ...prepared fresh daily in our own restaurant. Menu items include a variety of kids favorites. A Camp Menu for the summer is posted on our website. If you dont like what were serving on any particular day you're welcome to pack a lunch.

tucsonracquetclub.com

Q What do I bring on the first day? A Camp essentials include a hat, swimsuit,
towel, and plenty of waterproof sunscreen. Bring your own water bottle. Dress appropriately for sports ...no flip-flops. Put all belongings into a sports bag or backpack. Don't have a racquet? No problem, loaners are available in all Camps. Visit our Camp website for detailed

Q How are campers grouped? A We evaluate students on the first morning in

all of our Camps. Campers are placed with students of similar age and abilities. We also strive to maintain friendship associations if appropriate.
