Age 5-9 & 10-14 BIGGER THAN BASKETBALL: Our goal is for all campers to work hard and feel good about themselves in a safe, disciplined, highly structured and motivated environment of learning and fun. We place the child and his or her personal development ahead of the game. Positive encouragement and measured improvement in the fundamental skills are trademarks of our camp, as well as players learning to work together in a team setting while playing games and tournaments. All of our camps offer a solid foundation of fundamental skill development for beginning players and a strong challenge for advanced players. We use a Mastery Orientation of teaching, which celebrates effort as much as achievement and focuses on personal development, learning and improving. Our teaching progression takes into account age and skill differences. Players are grouped by age, sex, ability and personal request. Please wear athletic shoes and proper clothing. A peanut free snack will be provided each day. Feel free to bring any additional water or snacks youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like. Location: RMCC GYM Age 5-9Y

Age 5-14yrs with Emerald Hills Golf Staff Camp starts at 9:00 but you can drop off as early as 8:45! Orientation will be on Monday at 9:00am, and this is an opportunity for us to get to know the campers and for the campers to learn camp rules and expectations and meet their counselors. Throughout the camp they will be taught the skills of putting, chipping, bunker shots, driving and midrange game. We will take them into our driving range where they will be able to fine tune their swings. We believe the best way for young golfers to learn is by allowing them to play on a real golf course, as opposed to just a driving range. At the same time we can also teach them golf etiquette which is very important to use on a golf course. Hot Lunch is served daily for all campers and snacks will be provided at aftercare. Bring your own equipment or rent clubs at Emerald Hills Golf Course. Any Questions please call or email Emerald Hills Golf Course at 650.368.7820 or emeraldhillsgolfcourse@gmail.com After Care 12:30-5pm: During this time, your child can continue to golf with an instructor, swim in the pool (Certified Lifeguards on Duty), or there are other relaxing golf games for them to play.
