Junior Camps
and Academies

How to Choose the Right Camp

How old is your child? How much golf have they played? Do they need a day camp or an overnight program? Some camps welcome every skill level, while others are built for tournament players working toward college golf. Costs vary widely, so check what's included before you register. If price is a concern, financial help is available. 

These programs are run independently, not by the CGA. Contact each camp directly for dates, pricing, and availability.
