Weather Policy
If severe weather or heavy rain is expected or the courts are extremely wet due to earlier rain, the day’s session will be cancelled for safety reasons. A decision to cancel will be made 2 hours before a session starts if possible but sometimes the weather is unexpected. Cancellation notice will be sent by email or GroupMe if it is short-notice.
In the event of an electrical storm, we will immediately direct campers to shelter and then make a decision whether to wait it out or cancel camp for the remainder of the day.
If a rain shower occurs during camp or near the start of camp unexpectedly in HC or BH, we will move to a sheltered area. A decision will be made to wait for the courts to dry or to cancel camp for the remainder of the day. We may be able to do reaction, agility, coordination activities in the grass, have snack, play Tennis Jeopardy, etc.
Some camp weeks have the availability of Friday as a rain day. For other weeks or as needed, if more than half of a camp day is cancelled due to weather, efforts will be made to make-up time in some way such as shifting the camp time, extending a different day if possible, joining a session another week, etc.
