Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort
Located 72 miles west of New York City on the banks of the Delaware River, The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is known as the 'Gem of the East.' The A.W. Tillinghast design features 24 of 27 holes on Shawnee Island in the middle of the Delaware River. Breathtaking views and a great layout convinced Golf Digest to list Shawnee as one of 'America’s All-Time Greatest Courses.' To continue Shawnee’s outstanding golf tradition, the elite Tillinghast Golf Academy was launched in June 2003. Golfing visitors are trained at a learning center created to replicate the greatest design characteristics found on Tillinghast courses.

Able to Make New Friends
"The Shawnee camp that I attended was great. The staff was awesome and I learned so much. They were all so nice and easy to talk to. They were very enthused about the camp and were also willing to answer any questions. They always made sure we were having a good time. I was also able to make some new friends. Four of us are still keeping in touch and we all plan on attending the camp next year at the same time. This camp was an amazing experience."
