Is there a difference between Thunderbird, Greenway, Moon Valley & Washington High?
No. We simply maintain those locations so that the kids have enough space to practice and get a lot of court time. Some kids will stay and play at Thunderbird while other kids will be bussed from Thunderbird to either Greenway, Washington or Moon Valley and back throughout the camp. Campers will always need to be dropped off and picked up at Thunderbird High.
