Nike Junior Golf Camps
Nike Junior Golf Camps is thrilled to announce an amazing new overnight camp at UC Santa Barbara in Summer 2025. Campers have the exciting opportunity to live in the ocean-front dormitories at UCSB while receiving instruction from Division I coaches and playing amazing courses – including the oceanfront Sandpiper Golf Course and nearby Glen Annie Golf Club. This program is co-ed and open to players of all ability levels, ages 10-17.
Overnight Camp
The overnight program includes all instruction, green fees, overnight accommodations, meals, evening activities, educational seminars, and more. For the duration of the program, overnight campers reside in the oceanfront Manzanita Village residence halls on campus and transport to local courses each day for instruction. Our amazing coaching staff resides in the dorms in adjacent rooms to the campers and provides supervision throughout the camp. There will be several other Nike Sports Camps on campus during the same week, including Football, Swim, Tennis, Track & Field, Cross Country, and Multi-Sport. These camps will participate in sport-specific instruction during the day, but campers will be brought together for meals and evening activities.
Day Camp (9:00am-4:00pm)
This program also offers a day camp option for players who do not wish to stay overnight. The day camp runs 9:00am-4:00pm daily and includes instruction and course play only. Day campers must bring their own lunch.
Evening Seminars
Each evening, the camp offers educational seminars for both campers and parents covering a variety of topics including college recruiting, sports psychology, expectations of a collegiate athlete, and more. These seminars are panel-style discussions led by current and former Division I coaches and athletes. The goal of these seminars is to provide honest input and offer an opportunity for interested campers to ask questions.
This camp is not owned, co-owned, sponsored, or co-sponsored by the University of California, Santa Barbara. The camp is open to any and all entrants and is only limited by age, gender, and number.
Highlights Include
- Instruction from recognized golf instructors with a low student to teacher ratio
