A Douglas-Saugatuck Pickleball Club hosted camp Aug. 1-2 at Schultz Park had 15 kids ages 9 to 15 jumping for joy with new tie-dyed t-shirts and paddles from Niles-based Paddletec Co. Club member Sarah Cullen and Saugatuck Community Recreation director Scott Kierzek helped organize sessions, which filled four courts with a teacher on each going over game rules and fundamentals, followed by pickleball cookies and lemonade being served. The local club has more than 140 members playing throughout the week on the eight park courts.
