Spring Break Junior Tennis Camps

We are happy to announce our 2022 Spring Break Tennis Camps.   In light of the continued COVID-19 situation, we will continue to make sure that we have protocols set in place to ensure we are providing the safest environment possible.  We understand that every family or individual has different health and safety comfort levels and want to make sure we all take that into consideration. Outside of that, our main goal is to provide first class quality tennis instruction to allow each junior to be the best they can be.

Please review the important information below regarding our 2022 Spring Break Junior Tennis Camps.

Member participants who were registered in our Winter Program will receive first priority for our Spring Break Camps.  If spots remain open, we will allow registration based on the priority below.

The priority for group acceptance is as follows for our PROGRESSIVE, DEVELOPMENTAL & COMPETITIVE Programs:

1.         RCC members who were registered in Winter Programs, followed by members who were not registered.

2.         Previously registered non-member Winter 2022 Program Participants

3.         New non-member participants

PLEASE NOTE: For all PROGRESSIVE, DEVELOPMENTAL & COMPETITIVE Groups, if non-member guests are currently in our program for the Winter and want to continue in the Spring Camp or Term, members have 1st priority for spots in any of our programs.  If you are a non-member and want to secure your spot, please inquire about membership with our Membership Team, Leah Bertrand at lbertrand@rihhmondcc.ca.  Make sure you also notify us that you are in the process of doing so.

Invoicing Process (Non-Members)

Once you choose which days you wish to participate, you must secure your days by paying the invoice we will be sending you immediately.  For example, once you choose to attend a specific class during the spring break weeks, we will invoice you and your spot will be held once payment is received.  If Payment is not received by the next day, your spot will be available for the next participant on the waitlist.
