NOTE: Camp Carl begins at 11:00am.
Regular play will begin at 12:00 Noon. Bring your own pickleball paddle and outdoor pickleballs, if you have them. There will be some outdoor pickleballs on hand. Everyone is strongly encouraged to bring their own water bottles and/or electrolyte drink and a lawn chair, if desired.
