Enjoying Golf after camp
My daughter walked away enjoying golf!!

This was a great opportunity
My daughter went into camp having only one lesson. She was the oldest in attendance (14 years old). She loved everything and learned a great deal. She is excited to pursue. If it were not for a busy schedule with summer school and travel, we would have signed up for another week. This was a great opportunity.

Great Experience!
This was Joey’s first time experiencing golf, and it was great! The club staff and coaches were fantastic and friendly. Camp was well organized and set up in a way where kids were working in small groups with coaches so they were always able to play and not just sit around. When breaks were given coaches would often be talking to the kids as well as the parents. This was a great experience!

Great Program at River Park
My kids loved the program at River Park. We have signed them up for the last few years and look forward to next summer's schedule of camps.

Very Accommodating!
Great gifts and my child seem to really enjoy the camp. Thank you.

All in all great camp
Parent: Just how friendly, relaxed, and easily accessible everything is to get around. Size and set-up of space (close to parking, bathrooms/water/AC golf center, and covered area for driving range) makes it well suited for kids in the hot summer conditions. Luke: Getting better at putting, learning how to hold the club correctly so I could perform better shots, seeing how far I could hit it, and that I hit it further by first relaxing.

Had a blast!
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the camp and will continue playing and will be returning for the next camp.

Parker had a blast. The Coaches were encouraging, knowledgeable, and covered way more than expected. Every child in the class showed signs of improvement by the last day, and walked with more confidence on the course.

Thanks!
Thanks for the director and coaches for helping me improve last week. I definitely learned a lot about my weaknesses and how to work on them during practice! Hopefully I can come back next year and show you how good I am!
