SUMMER CAMP 2025

The Maplewood Club's weekly summer camp will run from June 23 through August 21. Full and half day programs are available for kids ages 5-16, and all tennis abilities (beginner through advanced).

 

Director of Tennis Tom Battaglia and his staff provide a professional and fun experience that allows every camper to reach their maximum potential.
 

CAMP PHILOSOPHY
MLC Camp started in 2006 with just a few kids, and has grown to be one of the best tennis camps in the area. Our philosophy is simple: tennis is fun and it should be taught with laughter and positive energy. Many young players lose interest because their clinics or lessons were boring and didn’t offer enough variety. Tennis isn’t just about hitting forehands or backhands across the net. It’s about aiming for targets, racing a friend in a relay race, serving balls through hula hoops, and completing tasks to earn your team the most points to win the Maplewood Cup. That’s what makes it fun and keeps our campers coming back year after year. Many of our first students played high school and even college tennis. Those students are some of our instructors today.

 

Our tennis camp sells out quickly,  so sign up fast. Have your children play for the Maplewood Cup this summer!
