Camp Details
This program is designed for boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18. Our world-class instruction and coaching provides junior golfers with the necessary skills to compete and win. Golf instruction takes place at McIver Training Center located at The Bearkat Course, home of the SHSU Bearkats Golf teams. 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 skills in weekly competitions and course play. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.
