Devil's Den

Have some fun at Devil's Den

Looking for something different for the kids to do this summer? Brooklin's Devil's Den Golf Centre is offering junior golf and beach volleyball camps, both half and full-day courses.

The five-day golf camp is introductory for beginners and a great tune-up for intermediate players.

The student-to-teacher ratio of the golf program is 8 to 1 which allows participants to get a hands-on experience, while learning the necessary fundamentals of the game of golf.

The camps are geared towards kids aged 7 to 15 with any level of experience.

Little Devils
Little Devils Junior Golf Camps, which are half-day programs that run from 9 a.m. to noon, are $179 per golfer. They run from Monday through Friday, May through August during eight different weeks.

The first four days of the camp are spent teaching students about grip, stance, posture and alignment. They learn the skills necessary to putt, chip and make their way out of bunkers. They learn the ideal swing motion needed to sink that hole in one. The rules and etiquette of the golf game are also an important factor of the camp structure.

Campers' newly acquired skills are put to the test on the last day of camp, when they take to the course for a fun-for-all nine-hole tournament - parents welcome.

The course also offers half-day volleyball camps for kids aged 8 to 14. Students participate in beach volleyball from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. This camp runs from June through August during four different weeks and is $129 per child.

The volleyball camp teaches students how to serve, set, volley and spike the ball. Students can put their developing skills to the test during a variety of modified games. Prizes and awards are given as well.

Participants registered in half-day programs will receive 15 hours of instruction. The junior full-day program incorporates beach volleyball and golf into the mix. This camp runs 9 .m. to 3:30 p.m. on Monday though Friday. The cost is $279 per participant. This camp is available July through August during four different weeks. Students will receive 30 hours of instruction.

These camps are a one-of-a-kind experience and are wonderful for a child or teen that has never played golf or beach volleyball or even for those who play regularly.

While learning these sports is fun already, the camp instructors at Devil's Den make the experience phenomenal. Trained professionals teach each of the Little Devil's camps. Jason Knill, Devil's Den golf professional has nine years experience teaching. He brings a strong approach to teaching students. His camps are based on teaching the fundamentals of golf, which are power, accuracy and control over the golf ball. He uses drills and video analysis to get the message across to the students in an entertaining way.

Certified staff through the National Coaching Certification Program teaches the volleyball and beach volleyball camps. Each section of the camp is meant to teach students in a way that is appropriate for each individual by adapting and modifying the game to meet their needs.

A slow approach is taken so that players of all skill level can participate. Teachers start at the basic foundation and progress from there to more difficult tasks.

Devil's Den Golf Club is located at 745 Winchester Rd. West in Brooklin. For more information on their summer camps contact Robert Di Rosa at (905) 655-6579 or robert@devilsdengolf.com or visit them online at www.devilsdengolf.com.
