One of the highlights of the TEC Experience is our specialty camp program. Each of these mini-camps is offered as a supplement to our program and provides campers with an opportunity to receive additional personalized, higher-level instruction. We gear the camps so that the beginner, as well as the advanced camper, will be able to learn in a fun-filled environment.
As with everything we do at TEC, these programs reflect our "success based on attitude, rather than aptitude" approach while developing our campers' skills and more importantly, their self-confidence.
