Questions parents ask

Has my golfer ever played before?

No experience needed. Many golfers hold a club for the first time at camp.

What does it cost?

Camp is free for families, thanks to our partners and donors.

What if my golfer has a hard day?

That’s OK. Golfers can take a break whenever they need one, and coaches will help them rejoin when they’re ready.

Save a spot for your golfer.
