BumbleBee Summer Tennis Camp in NYC

Agenda and Activities

Tennis

The BumbleBee Tennis Camp is perfect for beginners 3-5 years old and will build a foundation of the core tennis skills including the forehand, backhand, volley, and serve. In addition, exercises will focus to improve on other tennis related skills such as hand-eye coordination, timing, stamina, and reflexes. The tennis drills, based on the QuickStart tennis program put forth by the USTA, allow for instant tennis success. Tennis can be a difficult sport to learn, but with our specially designed tennis activities, students are playing the game of tennis quicker than ever!

Swimming

Students have about one hour of swim time Monday through Friday. There is a certified lifeguard on duty at all times. Students who are comfortable in the water can swim, play swim games, or improve their swimming abilities with swim instruction. If your young child is not comfortable in the water yet, that’s OK! We will be happy to help them become familiar with the water and teach them swimming techniques. Learning swimming with their friends makes it all the more fun.

We have helped many young swimmers who were scared of the water at first, with our patient instruction, realize they love the water. One young student went from just dipping his toes in the pool to swimming laps back and forth with the assistance of a swim noodle.
