Camp Overview

Improve your game and have serious fun
at Nike Golf Camps

Join us at Hampden-Sydney College for an incredible summer on campus with Head Golf Coach, Duncan Wheeler. This camp provides players of all ability levels, ages 12-18, Division III instruction, exposure to campus life, and a fun, encouraging atmosphere to improve your game.

ON-CAMPUS LIFE

Campers will experience an authentic taste of college life while staying in Hampden-Sydney College residence halls throughout the week, with rooms located near camp staff for supervision and support. Each day includes a full schedule of golf, meals, and evening activities designed to build friendships and create a fun, team-like environment. With access to campus dining, common areas, and a student-athlete atmosphere, campers will enjoy a true overnight college camp experience while developing independence, confidence, and lasting memories both on and off the course.

DAILY INSTRUCTION & COURSE PLAY

The camp combines DIII instruction with real on-course application at The Manor Golf Club. Campers will learn the core fundamentals of the full swing, short game, and putting, while also being introduced to the same practice routines, training habits, and performance-focused drills used by the Tigers golf program. From Saturday - Tuesday, campers will take their development to the course, playing alongside camp staff who provide coaching in real time—covering course management, shot selection, pre-shot routine, and how to score under pressure.

EXTENDED DAY

For any players who do not wish to stay overnight, we also offer a limited number of day camp spaces. The Extended Day camp includes instruction, on-course play, evening activities, lunch and dinner. Extended Day campers will be dropped off and picked up at the campus each day. This camp is open to boys, ages 12-18, and runs approximately 8:00am - 8:00pm each day. (Please note: Saturday and Tuesday will have different arrival and departure times due to check-in/check-out).

This camp/clinic is not owned, operated, or otherwise controlled by Hampden-Sydney College.

This camp is open to any and all entrants and is only limited by age, gender, and number.
