Q How do campers survive
Tucson’s summer heat?
A Creative scheduling! "Pee Wee"

The low student to instructor ratios allow for close supervision and
the safety of our campers — while providing a
healthier and more productive learning environment. The pool is permanently staffed with
two certified lifeguards in addition to our own
Summer Camp staff.
Q How can I keep track of all my belongings while at camp?
A Put everything in a backpack or sports bag
and clearly label all belongings with a permanent marker.. We have an engraver on site to
permanently mark racquets. Pee Wee’s are
provided with ‘cubbies’ for storage. Tennis,
Soccer and All Sports Campers keep their
backpacks or sports bags with them.
tennis and basketball (outside) are
scheduled in the cool early morning hours. Later "Pee Wee" activities are either indoors or in the
pool. "All Sports" activities are
rotated every forty-five minutes.
Sports are creatively switched between “cool-off”
sports (swimming, martial arts, volleyball, racquetball) and outdoor sports (tennis and basketball). We schedule water and Gatorade breaks,
insist on hats and sunscreen, and keep a watchful
eye for potential problems. Lunch is a full one
hour of "cool-down" and relaxation.

Q What do I bring on the first day?
