We offer lessons, leagues, clinics, camps, court rentals, and recreational programming for youth and adults. We are looking for an energetic, dependable, and creative person to help us develop, launch, and lead a brand-new Friday Youth Camp program. This is not a position where you're simply stepping into an established camp and following someone else's plan. We want the right person to help us shape the program—bringing ideas, energy, and personality to create a Friday experience that kids enjoy and parents value. Our Friday program will combine tennis, pickleball, sports, games, recreation, and enrichment activities , with the flexibility to include dedicated homework or study time when helpful. We want to work with participating families and continually adapt the program around what works best for their children. Tennis and pickleball experience is strongly preferred, but absolutely not required. Finding someone who is great with kids, responsible, creative, and motivated to build a successful program is more important. Teachers, PE teachers, paraprofessionals, coaches, education students, recreation professionals, and others who enjoy working with children are strongly encouraged to apply. This may be an especially attractive opportunity for someone whose regular school or work schedule leaves Fridays available.

The person hired for this position will have the opportunity to help develop and lead our approximately 10-12 week Summer Camp program next summer.
