Nike Junior Golf Camps
Nike Junior Golf Camps is excited to announce its newest camp in Colorado at University of Denver in Summer 2025. Campers have the unique opportunity to live on campus at DU (in adjacent rooms to the camp staff) while receiving daily instruction from Division I coaches at Overland Golf Course and other nearby facilities. Open to players of all ability levels, ages 10-17, this camp provides junior golfers the chance to experience the life of a college golfer while making lifelong friends and memories.
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 residence halls on campus and transport to golf facilities 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 Tennis, Football, Baseball, Track & Field, Cross Country, and Softball. 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 Denver. The camp is open to any and all entrants and is only limited by age, gender, and number. Campers will typically play nine holes each day to ensure plenty of time for instruction.
Highlights Include
- Morning instruction at the practice facility provided by Division I coaches
- Daily on-course instruction at Overland Golf Course and other local golf facilities
- Reside on campus at University of Denver in adjacent rooms to the coaching staff
- Educational seminars on the topics of college recruiting, sports psychology, and more
