As we reflect on another exceptional summer season at WCC, we are reminded of the many meaningful moments that make our community so special. Wilmington Country Club's Summer Camp Headquarters has been a tremendous addition this year. It has been a joy to see the children gather in a space where they can build with Legos, play with Barbies, engage in arts and crafts, or simply relax. This area has truly become their place for both fun and rejuvenation. Many leave each day tired yet fulfilled, and a few would happily stay even longer. We look forward to welcoming them back this fall as part of WCC’s Junior Racquets Program. The Annual Delaware State Open was once again a highlight of our tennis calendar, showcasing a high level of competition and sportsmanship. The favorable weather contributed to an enjoyable and memorable experience for both participants and spectators. Congratulations to Kristin Mumford and Wyeth Anzilotti, who were crowned Champions in the mixed doubles division. We anticipate an even more robust field in 2026. Our Junior Tennis players continue to impress, remaining undefeated on the road. Under the guidance of our amazing Coaches, teams secured victories over Waynesborough, Congressional Country Club, and Rodney Street. We look forward to additional matches scheduled for August as the season progresses. Summer activities remain in full swing. Members are invited to join the Paddle Round-Robin every Thursday from 7:30am to 9:00am, and we continue to host Bocce Socials each Wednesday at 5:30pm. Raft Night at the Pool, held Wednesdays at 5:00pm, has quickly become a weekly favorite. As we approach Wilmington Cup season, we are pleased to announce Ladies’ Tennis Camps on Monday, August 25; Tuesday, August 26; and Thursday, August 28. Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, August 29. In addition, our annual WCC US Open Trip will take place on Wednesday, August 27. For those who have not yet attended, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a long-standing tradition—please register on Foretees. We extend our warmest congratulations to the 2025 WCC Swim Team. Every swimmer demonstrated outstanding dedication and resilience throughout the season. We are deeply grateful to our coaching staff for their commitment and encouragement, and to the parents for their unwavering support. The swimmers rose to every challenge, showing remarkable growth and spirit. Special recognition goes to our Swim and Dive Champs medal recipients and all who participated. Thank you to the Swim Committee and all our volunteers for helping make this another successful summer. We are already excited about expanding our program in 2026. On a personal note, July marks both my birthday and another anniversary of my time here at WCC. It is a privilege to be part of such a loving and supportive community. Thank you for your continued trust and engagement. Wishing you a memorable August. I look forward to seeing you around the Club.
JUNIOR TENNIS RECAP This summer has been a truly fantastic season for our tennis camp! The energy and dedication our players have shown have been remarkable, both on our home courts and on the road. They’ve had numerous opportunities to put their skills to the test, competing in challenging matches at local clubs and traveling for exciting away matches in both Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. These experiences have been invaluable for their growth as athletes, fostering not only their competitive spirit but also great sportsmanship and teamwork. As the summer winds down, we're already looking forward to the next season. We are excited to announce that the Fall Junior Program will officially kick off on September 8th. We can't wait to welcome back our returning players and meet new ones as we continue to build on the progress and success of this incredible summer.
