Nike Junior Golf Camps

Nike Golf Camps is thrilled to return to University of Denver in Summer 2026! Campers have the unique opportunity to live on campus at DU (in adjacent rooms to the camp staff) while receiving daily instruction from collegiate coaches at local golf 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 camp at University of Denver offers an immersive, on-campus experience where campers reside in the beautiful DU dormitories in adjacent rooms to the coaching staff while training during the daytime hours. The tuition includes greens fees, housing, meals, fun evening activities, as well as college recruiting seminars on Tuesday evening (parents are encouraged to attend the seminars!).

Day Camp (9:00am-4:00pm)

Nike Golf Camps also offers a summer day camp program for athletes who do not wish to stay overnight. This program runs 9:00am-4:00pm each day and includes daytime training only. Campers can bring their own lunch or purchase on campus.

NIKE SPORTS CAMP EXPERIENCE

At University of Denver, Nike Sports Camps offers a unique experience with many sports (Baseball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Softball, and Tennis) operating simultaneously. During the day, the athletes receive sport-specific coaching within their sport focus. In the evening, overnight campers across all sports come together for a special camp-wide experience which includes fun field games, educational seminars, and more.
