This graphic below provides an example overview of the suggested schedule of the Junior Golf Camps across the three durations for a single camp day. Junior Golf Camps are available across three durations and during the camp juniors should get a chance to experience a range of skills, experience time on the course, and in the case of full day camps is inclusive of lunch. Scheduling the camp you should allow enough time for preparation and it is also important to schedule your camp when you can get access to the golf course. The exact content that will be covered within a camp will entirely depend on the camp duration type that you are running. However, each camp will include common themes in the flow of the day. Your camp should start by welcoming juniors and ensuring they are organised into their camp games teams. You should outline the flow of the day and start with a fun physical literacy warm up game which will contribute to the week long competition. Next, head to the first practice facility to introduce the child to the key skills within this area of the game. Help them develop their fundamentals and get them playing some fun team based games, as well as the games that contribute to the week long competition. After that, rotate to the next practice facility and work on the key skills within this area of the game. This is once again an opportunity to play some fun team based games and the games that contribute to the week long competition. If running a full day camp option, head for some lunch which should be included in the camp price. This is also an opportunity to run some lunchtime activities to increase the juniors knowledge of game. Lastly, if running a full day camp option, give your juniors a real sense of the game by heading to the course for a fun team scramble, team foursomes or team butterball competition. To assist you in planning and organizing your Junior Golf Camp, you can access downloadable plans through the Coaches Toolbox for each of the camp options. Visit the Junior Golf Camp page and choose the camp duration you require. You can view these via the Hub or download them to your device. Each type of Junior Camp will include a recommendation of how to layout your class to ensure it is delivered safely. Each class plan will also list the specific equipment required to deliver the games and activities within the Junior Camp. The timetables part of the plan provides you with an overview of what is delivered and how the timings are broken down across the duration of the Junior Camp. In addition, each class plan includes Game Cards that the junior attempts with a partner or in groups during the camp. Warm up Games are also included that are used to improve children's physical literacy. Lastly, each Junior Camp includes one game per session where the children can earn points for their team contributing to the week long competition. The end of camp award ceremony is particularly important, to highlight the achievements of the children during the week, and to promote and convert the camp attendees into regular participants of the Junior Weekly Program.

You will need to have marketing collateral ready to give to each participant of the camps, be sure to offer a free taster session in order to maximise conversion from the camps to your Junior Weekly program.
