NJTL of Trenton Summer Camp 2025

That's a Wrap for this year!

On August 14, 2025, NJTL of Trenton’s Summer Camp concluded with a fun-filled end-of-season celebration at Cadwalader Park. Campers enjoyed a picnic, DJ and dance-offs, field obstacle courses, hit-for-prizes challenges, book giveaways, and, of course, plenty of tennis!

We were honored to welcome special guests who joined in celebrating the accomplishments of our young athletes, including Mayor Reed Gusciora, Assemblywoman Tennielle McCoy, Mercer County Executive Dan Benson, Councilwoman Teska Frisby, Director Paul Harris, and the Trenton Fire Department. Mayor Gusciora shared exciting news with the campers: “Next year, they will have brand new courts to play on,” as the City of Trenton plans a full renovation of the tennis courts at Cadwalader Park.

A special thank you to professional photographer Beverly Schaefer for capturing all the memorable moments of the day. Be sure to scroll down to see the pictures! We look forward to seeing our campers back next year!

The Best Place to Learn Tennis
