Some of our Tennis and Activities Staff

Our staff is composed of college aged counselors, some of whom have been campers at CVTC in the past. Typically, all of our tennis counselors are playing college tennis and bring a wealth of tennis experience to the camp. Tennis has provided them with great memories and they want to give back to the game and help you improve your game, whether you are beginning the sport or working towards improving a ranking. In addition, we have a Camp Nurse who is there to help with assorted aches and pains.
