This program is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 18 (varies by program). This camp is an opportunity for aspiring college golfers to learn for themselves what a week of college golf is like. These camps offer training and real competition scenarios that develop every part of your game. During the week, campers work on short game, putting, approach shots, course management, and will test their new skills in weekly competitions and 18-hole tournaments. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
