The Lima Area Tennis Association wrapped their annual two-week camp Friday morning.
Children from the area, from ages 4 to 18, showed up to the Collett Street tennis courts to either learn the game or improve their abilities. Jeff Brown, who helped run the camp, said he saw a great turnout this year and a lot of familiar faces. The camp concluded with an awards presentation with a total of 24 medals handed out for attendance and attitude. 10 scholarships were also awarded for those the staff felt would be playing tennis long term and showed their ability to learn and develop their game.
"Our goal here is to get the kids used to playing sports, get out and play tennis, stuff like that," Brown said, head tennis pro. "It's just good to have kids out being active in the Summer and introduce them to a great sport."
Scholarships will be able to cover an eight-week session at Westwood Tennis and Fitness.
