Menlo Swim and Sport offers Tennis Camps for Kids 5-12
Camp Menlo Tennis offers daily tennis lessons with our own experienced Menlo Swim and Sport tennis instructors to help provide a fun day camp experience. Campers enjoy on-court exercises for strength, conditioning, agility and control – especially designed to enhance tennis development. Our tennis instructors will help campers achieve greater control and understanding of the game. A daily focus on different aspects of the game will lead to rapid advancement of your child’s ability. After lunch each day, campers will cool off with an hour of free swim time. Your child should come home healthy-tired and inspired!
Camp Menlo Tennis in 2024 is separated into different age groups throughout the summer. We will offer two separate camps based on age (7-12) and (5-8). Check out the schedule for specific dates.
Is This Camp for You?
For ages 5 to 12 years (on the first day of camp).
Some tennis experienced required.
We have select camps with different age groups, please select the one best suited for you.
Campers should enjoy social group situations, and respond well to instruction.
*Please note: no parents are allowed on court
Open Swim
While most tennis camp activities are land based, each day our tennis campers will have the opportunity to jump in the pool with the rest of our camp for an hour of Open Swim. This is particularly helpful on those hot summer days!
Campers will splash and swim with their new friends and play fun water games led by our amazing counselors! Open Swim is a great way to build water confidence and improve swim skills while having a blast.
Field Activities
Every day our campers will participate in some of their favorite camp games, sports, relays and obstacle courses. On Wednesdays, they will also have a chance to show off their creativity with Tie Dye. Campers will pick out their favorite colors and show them off at the end of the week. Field activities provide the perfect time to stay active and have dryland fun!

The aide will complete a LiveScan background check and we need to receive the clearance prior to the first day of camp. Aides accompanying campers must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19.
Q: Can my child check themselves in and out of Camp?
A: Campers 12 years of age and older or campers that have siblings in camp 12 years of age or older may check themselves in and out of camp with your authorization. This authorization is given in the questionnaire section of the camp registration process. A parent must be present for check-in on the first day of camp.

Q: Do you have any all-day camps?
A: Yes! We are currently running day and extended afternoon camps. You are welcome to sign your child up for both the day and extended session during the same week. You’ll just want to make sure to send your camper with a nutritious lunch.

KidCheck FAQ
Q: Does my spouse/partner or other guardians need to create a KidCheck account too?
A: Yes, but do not have them add the child onto their account. Once your spouse/partner or other guardians create their KidCheck account you should add them onto your account (the account with the child) as a Guardian.
Q: Why can’t my spouse/partner or other guardians just add the child onto their account?
A: Since KidCheck doesn’t collect personal information like the child’s social security number, your direct relation to the child, or other guardian’s direct relation to the child, or to you, the system won’t recognize the child on separate accounts as being the same child.
Q: The parent of another child and I will be taking turns dropping off or picking up our kids. How do we set this up in KidCheck?
A: First you both will create your separate KidCheck accounts and add only your own child onto your accounts. Then you will add them as a guardian on your account, and they will add you as a guardian onto their account.
Q: I’ve added my child and they are listed in the “Kids” tab but it says “You have not been authorized for any children”. Why is that?
A: Under the “Kids” tab there are two sections. The first section is “My Kids”. Under this section any child you add to your account will show and since they are your kids you automatically have authorization for them. The second section is “Kids I’m Authorized For”. This section will show the kids of other parents that have added you as an authorized guardian for their kids. If you are planning on picking up or dropping off kids other than your own and do not see their names listed under the “Kids I’m Authorized For” section, you need to contact their parent and ask them to add you as an authorized guardian for their child.
Stay In Touch!
We know that when you sign up for Camp it is still a long ways away. During that waiting period, we want to make sure that you are kept up-to-date on anything and everything Camps related. From the history of our program, to virtually meeting the key members running the camp, we want you to feel included and informed coming into Camp Menlo at Burgess Pool in 2024.
