The adult camps, for tennis players age 18 and up will be held June 3-5 and July 8-10, while the ages 9-18 junior camps will be held June 5-9 and July 10-14.
Junior camps include five days of instruction and campers can either come each day, or can opt to spend the nights in Lawrence at KU residence halls for an additional fee. Adult day camps include ten hours of tennis instruction, strategy and match play. Adult camps are day camps only.
Junior camps are $315 for day campers and $495 for resident campers. Each junior camper relieves a pair of Nike high-performance shoes with the camp, which is included in the camp fees. Adult camps are $325 per person.
The 2005 camps are operated by US Sports Camps, in association with Nike.
