PGA/LPGA half-day golf camp sessions for ages 5-8, 9-14, and adults ages 18+, as well as full-day camps for ages 10-15 provide fun, activity-driven experiences to learn the game of golf or improve technique. Camp programs for youth are also offered for volleyball and hockey.
Teens ages 13-15 learn recreation leader skills and gain experience at Jr. Leader Training; Washington Park Community Center offers day camps and Learning Labs for ages 5-15.
