Shoreline Golf Camp A half-day summer camp for children ages 10 – 15 About Us Shoreline Golf Camp is a half-day summer camp designed to provide a fun golfing experience for children ages 10 – 15. Each camp session runs from Monday – Friday, with two camp sessions available each day: a morning session from 8:30 – 12:00 and an afternoon session from 1:00 to 4:30. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays sessions are located at the East Lyme Driving Range in East Lyme, CT, where the focus is on learning and practicing basic skills of the game. Thursday and Friday sessions shift to the Ceder Ridge Golf Course in East Lyme, where the campers get to apply the skills they’ve learned through supervised rounds of golf. The Shoreline Golf Camp program provides an introduction to the fundamentals of the game, including swing technique, course management strategies, and golf rules and etiquette. No previous golfing experience is required. Children will receive both group and individual instruction. During the course of the camp week, children may be organized into small sub-groups based on their age and / or skill level. At the golf course, the campers will be divided into groups that will start their rounds of golf at assigned tee times. The Camp Executive Director, Mr. Sparrow, supervises the tee-off time of each group and then accompanies the groups out on the golf course, moving frequently between each group to provide guidance and instruction, as needed. Behavior on the golf course will be monitored closely, with a primary focus on safety, etiquette and fun!! Children can bring their own golf equipment, if desired. For children who do not have their own equipment, club rentals are available for a small additional fee. Our Staff Golf instruction and supervision is provided by the Camp Executive Director, David Sparrow. Mr. Sparrow is a retired corporate executive own lives in Old Saybrook, CT. He is an accomplished golfer with more than 50 years of playing experience. Mr. Sparrow has completed the Connecticut Coaching Education Program administered by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference and holds a coaching permit as required by the Connecticut State Department of Education. Mr. Sparrow currently serves as the assistant golf coach for the Valley Regional High School golf team.

Payment in full is due at time of registration. The deadline for registration is 3 weeks prior to each camp session. (Due to the limited number of campers that can be accommodated in each session, early registration is strongly recommended. Registrations that are received prior to June 1 will receive a $50 discount.) Shoreline Golf Camp will refund camp fees for cancellations made 10 days prior to the start of the session. No refund will be made for cancellations occurring less than 10 days prior to the start of the session. No refund will be made for missed days, late arrivals or early departures. Parent Handbook Before Camp Begins All forms, including the Parent / Guardian Authorization, Release and Indemnity Waiver Form, and the Camper Information Form must be completed and returned no later than 1 week before the start of the camp session. Shoreline Golf Camp expects each camper to respect themselves and others at camp, as well as the facilities and natural surroundings. All campers are expected to behave responsibly and appropriately at all times. At the discretion of the Camp Director, a camper may be dismissed for the remainder of his / her session for a serious infraction or for consistently inappropriate behavior. If, in the rare instance that a camper is asked to leave due to behavioral problems, a pro-rated refund will be made for the days not attended. While Your Child Is At Camp We strongly recommend that each camper bring the following items to camp each day in a well marked bag or backpack: hat sneakers or golf shoes insect repellant sunscreen rain coat or poncho water bottle golf bag, clubs and balls (if not renting golf equipment). Campers may bring cell phones, electronic games and personal music devices (e.g. ipods) for use during breaks. However, these devises cannot be used during golf instruction and practice sessions or during rounds of golf. (Shoreline Golf Camp is not responsible for any such items lost or stolen at camp.) At the end of each day, parents should check with their campers to ensure that they have all of their belongings. We will make every effort to return any items marked with your camper’s name directly to them during their session. Shoreline Golf Camp is not responsible for items that are left behind. All unclaimed articles will be donated to a charitable organization at the end of the summer. Each morning or afternoon when campers are dropped off at camp they will be greeted by a camp staff member who will have the parent / guardian sign in the camper. Similarly, at the end of each half day session parents/guardians will be required to sign their child out with a camp staff member. Should a medical emergency arise with a camper, the camper’s parent / guardian will be immediately notified and the camper will be taken to the nearest local emergency treatment facility unless otherwise instructed by the parent / guardian. Any medical costs incurred while at the emergency treatment facility are the responsibility of the parent / guardian. Shoreline Golf Camp is open every day for every session, regardless of weather. It is therefore very important that parents check the weather forecast the evening before each camp day to determine the proper clothing requirements for the next camp day. In very rare instances where the weather forecast is extremely bad, the camp director reserves the option of cancelling the next day’s session and, in such instances, will contact the parents of the campers the evening before the cancellation. A pro-rated refund will be made for any such cancellations.
