Many of you have asked us how do I get to be a counselor and continue my association with the camp? 

One way is to start as a Counselor in Training (CIT) in the summer after your senior year of high school.  We accept a limited number of CITs to work before being hired on as full-fledged counselors the following summer.  A few of our former campers turned CITs and counselors are:  Liz Berey, Jess LaTorre, Eric Levy and Chase Rohan. 

Another way for former campers who have completed a year or more of college is to just complete our online job application.

Contact us if you have an interest in the CIT Program or if you're interested in working as a counselor.

 

TENNIS PLAYERS: 

Increase your serving percentages with a more reliable toss. 

Begin with the tossing arm and wrist extended in a relaxed way and start your motion slowly. When placing the ball in the air for the serve leave your left hand (if right handed or right hand if left handed) up in the air after the ball release as if you are pointing at the ball. This makes for a "smoother" release plus gives you a visual cue that the ball should be up above your outstretched hand.  Should you not hit the ball it would drop back into your hand.

Expanded relationship with the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA.

Your end of camp evaluations of our programs have helped us improve so much over the years.  The tremendous feedback we received after our first summer at Mary Washington on how fantastic the facilities and Mary Washington's coaches are led us to expand our offerings there.  All the tennis courts are within a short walk of the dorms and the state of the art 6-court indoor facility is right next to the outdoor courts!
