Tennis with Peanut!

This past Saturday a few of our Haven Campers were invited to attend a day long camp with Tennis Star Peanut Harper during the Bank of the West Classic where tennis stars Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams were also playing. The campers learned great things, not only about tennis, but about sportsmanship as well. The campers received signed books of 'Inch and Miles, the Journey to Success,' written by both Peanut Harper and famous basketball coach John Wooden. The Campers had a blast at the camp and have a new respect for the game AND their opponents. What an Amazing experience!
