client project

Fifty years of summer camp, finally online.

A half-century-old Traverse City tennis camp moved off paper and phone calls — programs for ages 4 to adult, laid out so parents can actually pick one.

The brief

Fifty years of reputation, built almost entirely on word of mouth in Traverse City. The programs are genuinely good and genuinely varied — half a dozen of them, spanning ages four through adult, plus tournaments — but that variety is exactly what makes it hard to explain. A parent’s real question is narrow: which one is right for my kid, and how do I sign them up?

What I built

Programs organized by age and level so a parent can find theirs in one pass rather than reading all six. Tournament information kept separate from camp programs, because the people looking for it are looking for something else entirely. And a registration path that ends in an actual booking instead of a phone number.

The 50th year

The anniversary is the reason a lot of people will look this year, so the identity leans into it rather than treating it as a badge in the corner. Fifty years is the strongest thing this camp can say about itself.
