Adults, like juniors, have the option of staying in dormitories and dining in the college cafeteria. All leversl are welcome, from beginners to very strong (NTRP 5.5) competitive players, with instruction adjusted to each level's ability and conditioning level. Neal Hagberg, who since 1981 has headed up the "and Life" aspect of the camp, has now taken over the tennis directorship.
