lifetime sports into an unforgettable camp experience right in the heart of
Westchester.

Har-Tru tennis courts, full service pro shop, 18 hole golf course, driving

practice traps, 25 yard outdoor pool, boys and girls locker rooms, sports

 The
Golf
Program
The golf program is tailored to the individual abilities and needs of each
camper. The emphasis will be on developing a solid fundamental swing that
works for each camper. Proper practice habits will be reinforced to enhance
performance. Lectures, demonstrations, and drill sessions, in all aspects of
the game, will be incorporated daily. Driving, long and short iron range
sessions, chipping, pitching, sand play and putting will be practiced
regularly. Our goal is to increase enjoyment and maximize performance. All
campers that have demonstrated reasonable control of their swing and
understanding of course etiquette will have the opportunity to play on the
course. Rules and regulations will also be reviewed.
