May 2017 Dear Warhawk College Prep Tennis Camper: Now that the school term has drawn to a close, I am sure you are looking forward to your week at Warhawk College Prep Tennis Camp. We hope you will enjoy this session as much as our staff will and that together we can make this a rewarding experience for you. The close quarters that we live in, in the residence hall, will require your cooperation and assistance to make sure everyone has a positive experience. Be sure you review the enclosed camp rules and regulations carefully so that you will know what is expected of you. Please find the enclosed camp schedule. Be sure to review your list of things to bring, including bedding. The evenings tend to be warm, but occasionally it can be cool, so you may wish to bring an extra blanket or sleeping bag. You should definitely bring a fan for the dorm room! We do not have an air-conditioned dorm. Don t forget your pillow and towels, and a few wire hangers for your clothing. Bring an alarm clock to be sure to be on time each day. WE MAY GO TO THE POOL FOR AN ACTIVITY, SO DON T FORGET YOUR SWIM SUIT. Be sure you condition yourself before camp starts. New shoes tend to bring on blisters and eight hours of tennis per day tends to fatigue the body and blister the feet and racket hand. This year the tennis camps will have a full-service tennis pro-shop. There you will be able to get your racket serviced, with strings and grips. We will also have Wilson demo rackets to try out. We have T- shirts, hats, sweatshirts, and long sleeves that can also be purchased at the pro-shop as souvenirs. The Bookstore is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily for your convenience and has clothing as well as toilet articles and reading materials. Some campers like to order pizza/ice cream before lights out and can do so under the guidelines we will describe for you. Change for soda and candy machines is also a good idea, so bring your own change. This year we will again provide each camper with their own plastic water bottle, rather than using paper cups. We are looking forward to instructing you and renewing old acquaintances and sincerely hope your stay will be enlightening and rewarding. I know the new friends you will make will be your favorite topic of conversation (and correspondence) for the remainder of the summer. Sincerely, Frank Barnes, Director Warhawk Tennis Camps
