3:45–6 p.m.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays

Our Afternoon Tennis/Arts Camp will have sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:45–6 p.m. Created specifically for the summer season, this new partnership program combines the worlds of sports and arts and is filled with fun and learning for ages 4–12. Tennis classes stress the joy of learning as well as create a supportive atmosphere conducive to the world of competitive play. Campers are grouped by age and level of play and rackets are included.

Designed and led by Shine and inspired by our summer camp, the creative arts program uses the inspiration of the East End to expose campers to a variety of themes. From flora and fauna, to the abundance of art, architecture and history, each week will have a different focus and incorporate an array of mediums as well as the opportunity to engage in constructive arts, science and nature exploration, games and books.

Camp will be held at: Hampton Racquet (172 Buckskill Road, East Hampton) and Sag Harbor Tennis (395 Main Street, Sag Harbor). Contact us if you’re interested in our Afternoon Creative Arts + Tennis Camp (a minimum number of participants is needed for the program).

Shine also offers classes, workshops and parties in the Hamptons throughout the summer!
