Campers are grouped by age and ability and their development is carefully observed by our professional staff.
Mini Tennis - Ages 3-7
The Landon Grand Slam Mini-Camp is the best program of its kind around! It is open to younger children, ages 3 to 7. Campers have fun while developing hand-eye coordination, socialization skills and an appreciation of tennis. Program Director Shubrick Kothe developed the first mini-tennis program in the Washington area.
