2024 Summer Camp
Sample Day 1
Each day/session will use common-core aligned activities to help children on the golf course as well as in the classroom. Students will become familiar with the golf swing, golf etiquette, fitness, and more. Along with everyday golf instruction, children will learn concepts such as distance, math conversions, aerodynamics, and laws of physics which are complex but are in constant demonstration throughout a round of golf. An example of this integration may include designing a golf course (math/art) and talking about sustainable ways of providing a service while minimizing the environmental impact (science/environment).
