CLT Tennis Director, JEFF EWING and our tennis helpers will provide the learning stages and players will focus on
movement, balance, throwing and catching the ball, swing motions, making contact, grips and stroke development.
As players continue to improve, additional skill sets will focus on coordinating movement and balance, and hitting the
ball with purpose and direction.
Game concepts and scoring will be introduced.
The USTA (United States Tennis Association) 10 & under teaching methodology and concepts are used by
trained tennis professionals.
It's Easier Than Ever to Get in The Game
Tennis is fun and accessible to kids and families everywhere.






Your child will enjoy playing with balls that bounce lower and move slower through the air, making them
easier to hit.
Racquets are sized for small hands, making them easier to grip and swing.
Courts are smaller, so kids can cover them and have more success when they play.
Kids have more fun--and want to play more often.
Tennis is a sport that gets kids moving, improves balance agility and hand-eye coordination, and can
teach self-confidence and self-assurance.
Playing tennis, your child can make new friends in a safe, supportive environment.

Provides teamwork, water safety, planning and responsibility in an exciting and challenging atmosphere while at the same
time discovering one of the world's oldest and most rewarding sports.
Sail Camp is for children ages 8+ who can swim (Swim the length of the pool doing free style without touching the bottom
or the side of the pool with and without a lifejacket) and tread water for 1 minute. Kids will learn to trim sails,
tie knots, and man helm aboard sailboats. Our sailing camp, combined with our team and self esteem building activities,
help young sailor to build confidence, bolster self-reliance, and fulfill their inner potential--and have tons of fun while
doing it!
Instructor:
Roy Kuipers is an ASA and USA certified sailing instructor and a Licensed Captain with years of sailing experience and
certified lifeguard. He believes in hands on learning, which means kids captain the boat, trim the sails, and do the
navigating starting the minute they leave the dock. By the end of the program, we will have covered the fundamentals of
sailing and campers will have a comprehensive idea of everything from knot tying to points of sail. The program has
been designed to accommodate all levels - new sailors develop skills rapidly and experienced sailors flourish. Sailing
instruction will take place in Optimist Prams or Sunfish/laser (if available). Campers may bring their own boats, too. The
instructors will be sailing along with the kids on or cruising nearby on the safety boat(s). In the event of heavy weather,
the campers may get to enjoy a sail on a Hunter 35.5 or J22 sailboat (parents are welcome to join). For bad/extreme
weather, we will practice on shore.
Safety:
Safety is our highest priority. While we want our campers to experience the thrill of sailing, we assure expertise to keep
campers safe in the process. Activities are carefully planned and overseen. Our vessels are manned by an experienced
instructor or helpers who are safe boating certified by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. All campers are to comply with the
commands of the instructor(s). Campers not complying with the instructors commands will go to the pool
area; and/or instructor will contact guardian to pick up camper. Children wear life jackets (PFD type I, II, or III
non-inflatable) and sneakers at all times when on the docks. Other equipment required - Water Bottle, Hat/Cap,
Sunscreen, sneakers (worn at all times while on the docks).

bring their own sunscreen and reapply more often if requested by parent. We suggest SPF 30+, non-colored sunscreen
on a daily basis.

walks to/from camp. At pick-up time our staff may also wish to discuss any circumstances or situations that occurred
that they believe the adult should be aware of. If the individual picking up the child is not recognized by our staff, we
will require picture ID to ensure that they are one of the authorized adults to pick-up your child listed on registration

Injuries - If a camper sustains a minor injury, our staff will fill out an incident report and inform the parent of the
injury at pick-up. If a camper sustains an injury that requires immediate professional medical treatment, we will
contact the parents immediately to discuss options. In the case that a parent can not be reached, we will contact the
emergency contacts listed by parent. If an injury has the potential to be life threatening, we will immediately seek
professional medical help and then will contact the parents/emergency contacts.

CAMPER BELONGINGS
Required items - There are items that are required for each camper to bring on a daily basis. These include:

CAMPER RULES
Chandlers Landing Summer Camps believe everyone involved with our summer camp need to understand and abide by
the same guidelines during our programs. Campers receive an orientation to Chandlers Landing Summer Camps
SIX BASIC LIFE SKILLS on the first day of attendance. Below are the skills that we expect the campers to follow.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
SIX BASIC LIFE SKILLS
RESPECT (Yourself, others, staff and property)
USE APPROPRIATE WORDS
ALWAYS ASK TO BORROW
TREAT EACH OTHER KINDLY
TELL THE TRUTH (No matter how hard)
JUST BE NICE!!!
Our staff understands there may be times throughout the summer a camper may stray from our guidelines. We would
like to give the camper an opportunity to learn from these experiences. When a camper does not follow the SIX
BASIC LIFE SKILLS, the camper will have consequences.
CONSEQUENCES WHEN A CAMPER DOES NOT FOLLOWING THE SIX BASIC LIFE SKILLS
 1st Consequence - VERBAL DISCUSS/APOLOGY
 2nd Consequence - TIME OUT/MISS ACTIVITY/APOLOGY
 3rd Consequence - REMOVE CAMPER FROM GROUP/STAFF WILL CONTACT PARENT/APOLOGY
 SEVERE ACTION - SUSPENSION FROM CAMP
This is a very serious consequence that will occur if a camper decides to not follow the Life Skills
for the fourth time or repeats the same situation in an undesirable way. The adult family
member will be contacted immediately and asked to meet with the staff at the earliest
convenience. Suspension may consist of one day suspension to permanent suspension
depending on the severity of the situation. The family needs to be involved so the camper
understands the importance of making alternative decisions. If a situation arises, discuss the
matter at home, talk about the situation, the people impacted, and the ways to handle the
situation if it presents itself to your camper in the future.
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS: If families have any concerns with camp, staff, or campers, please contact the Camp Coordinator or
Instructors. We will address those concerns, or direct the concerns to the appropriate person in camp. Communication is essential and
our goal is to make your camper have the best memories of Chandlers Landing Summer Camps!
