These camps are designed to provide junior golfers with top-notch instruction from experienced teaching professionals. Campers practice at The Mistwood Performance Center, a premier golf training facility in the Midwest and Golf Range Magazine Top-50 Public Facility.
Full Day Camps
These camps run Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 4:00 pm. Under the watchful eye of the staff, campers practice all aspects of their games for three hours each morning.

Lunch is provided for full day campers each day. The full day camps are open to players of all abilities, ages 9-17.

Our half day programs are designed to create interest and foster development in beginner and intermediate golfers. The camps run Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 12:00pm and include fifteen hours of total range instruction. Strong emphasis is placed on the fundamentals—stance, grip, posture, full swing, rules & etiquette, etc. As the week unfolds, campers receive quality short-game instruction and by Friday, each Nike junior golfer will see improvement in his or her golf game! The half day camps are open to players of all abilities, ages 6-13.
