Since 2009 A's & Aces has partnered with NORDC to provide our Summer Literacy & Tennis Camps.
During the Summer of 2014 A's & Aces held three, 7-week Literacy & Tennis Camps in partnership with NORDC at the same sites. 148 campers ages 7-13 participated from 9:00-3:00 for seven-weeks, in June and July. The camps provided equal amounts of tennis and academic/life-skills activities, and included weekly swimming. Campers were provided with free breakfast and lunch by Sodexo Education. The camps concluded with a visit to the Aquarium of the Americas and an award ceremony recognizing the model campers of the summer. Additionally, A's & Aces introduced another 150 Excite All Star campers to tennis through weekly small group clinics. Photos from camp sites at Dillard University, Joe Brown Park Tennis Center, and Atkinson-Stern Tennis Center are below.
