The game is afoot and you and The Baker Street Irregulars are on the case! Many years ago, a gang of art thieves rode the railroad into downtown Bloomington and stashed their loot along the way.

Sherlock Holmes needs your group of intrepid investigators to decipher puzzles and unravel clues to solve the case, recover the art before the criminals arrive, and break up this century-old crime ring. Hurry ... the thieves will be here soon!

First Tee of Bloomington
Through the First Tee curriculum, campers learn the fundamentals of the golf swing, as well as techniques for putting, chipping, and the uses of irons and drivers. Golf rules and etiquette are also included in each day’s camp. The First Tee program uses golf to teach important life skills: How to manage emotions, set goals, resolve conflicts, and how to communicate with others. Junior golfers play games, take part in fun competitions, and answer trivia questions about golf rules. There are opportunities to purchase treats from the pro shop snack bar during breaks. Camp week ends Friday with playing a few holes on the golf course.
