COMMONBOND FOUNDATION

ENGLISH CAMP

 

 SVTA is pleased to be a part of  CommonBond's English Camp Program.  Since 2001,  English Camp, directed by Ms. Anna Pier,  has offered a three week summer camp designed to provide English learners an opportunity to expand their knowledge while developing their English language skills, using science, math and games.  And tennis is one of those games. This year, the children from English Camp, along with  Brett Stephenson, SVTA Head Teaching Pro, Mentors Barbara and Swede Thoreson, and SVTA volunteers,  participated in the English Camp Tennis Program during the month of July.

It is because of the generous donations of our SVTA members, and the continuing  support of Kiwanis and Rotary of Sonoma, that SVTA is able to participate as sponsors in this wonderful community program.
