JUNIOR CAMP 2018

Wilderness Ridge has become the leader in YOUTH PLAYER DEVELOPMENT in the Lincoln area. The Junior Golf Camp at Wilderness Ridge is a weeklong golf discovery experience that we hope will create an interest in the game that will last a lifetime! During the weeklong camp, we will cover most aspects of the game in a beginning stage atmosphere, highlighted by fun drills, games and contests.

The overall mission for our Junior Camp program is to provide each child with a consistent and fun environment, while being introduced to the game by our caring and specialized staff. We want to energize your kids, giving them the desire to learn more and advance their game to the next level.
