Every summer I take three weeks of my time and dedicated it to a Tennis Camp in northern Michigan. I have a great time with the kinda ranging from 8 – 16 years of age and teach them a thing or two. Although, this will be my 6th season working with the camp every year is truly different.

The kids who come through are always uniquely talented and often continue to do amazing things with their tennis careers. Our camp is unique it a way because we do not focus on the competition of the sport. We focus on the traditional “gentleman’s sport”. We award the high spirited campers, most improved, best motivators, and best sportsman like conduct. They are not your traditional awards so we have to get creative.

The campers are awarded with a unique tennis plaque, embellishment with a tennis design. We also send each and every camper home with a simple tennis trophy awarding them completion of the camp. Our campers love their tennis trophies and always carry them home with pride.

This year is going to be an amazing memorial day. My family is coming in from out of town and spending the whole weekend at my lake house. It has been years since we have all been able to set our busy schedules aside and have some fun together.

Our Martin Family Memorial Day is going to consist of playing cornhole, horseshoe (for the old Folk), washer toss, and some ladder golf tournaments.

The best part of the weekend is the terrific yard game trophies I was able to find. I personalized them with an engraving saying Martin Memorial Day Bash and the sport Below it.

The champions are going to enjoy receiving a cornhole trophy, washer toss trophy, horseshoe trophy, and/or a ladder gold trophy.
