What is Camp Miranda?
Our experienced counselors run this summer day camp focusing on tennis, swimming, and crafts for children 5-8 years old. Tennis and swimming components include basic instruction, games and fun activities. Campers must have the skills to stay above water on their own. Lunchtime features crafts, stories, and organized games. All elements are constantly updated to improve the experience and to keep things interesting. Campers may bring a lunch from home or pre-order meals from the snack bar.
 
The purpose of Camp Miranda is to:
• encourage enjoyment of swimming and tennis
• develop and improve tennis and swimming skills
• foster individual self-confidence & cooperative social relations

Who can participate?
Foothills members and non-members (when space is available) are welcome.

No refunds after June 1st. However, campers may change from one session to another if space is available or they may find a replacement camper to take their spot.
