2008 FIRST TEE OF GREATER AUSTIN SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION |
|
All First Tee of Greater Austin Summer Camps are lead by a staff of PGA and LPGA Instructors. Each summer camp hosted at the Harvey Penick Golf Campus targets a certain group of kids. This allows the instructors to plan both age and skill level appropriate activities. Each week campers will receive a “tee gift” as part of their camp registration fee. Full day campers will also have the opportunity to swim at the YMCA East Communities pool. Snacks are included, but campers will need to bring a sack lunch each day. Camp starts promptly at 9am, campers may be dropped off at the golf course as early as 8:30am. There is optional play time available from 3-4:30, but you must notify The First Tee staff at least one week before camp if you will be utilizing the optional play period so we can allow for adequate staffing. All campers will be registered into The First Tee program and will also be exposed to The First Tee Life Skills Curriculum. Equipment can be provided if needed for any camp. First Tee Camps are open to ALL YOUTH, including Non-First Tee participants. TO SIGN UP:
