Golf & Rafting Summer Camp for Children "Rocks" Southern Ontario

In Southern Ontario children’s summer golf camp & Grand River Rafting have partnered to create a unique one week summer golf school on the Grand River in Paris Ontario. The program is called "Golf Rocks"
Let your son or daughter experience a unique one week golfing day camp at the Paris Grand Country Club on the Grand River in Paris Ontario. This summer camp also includes rafting, archery and other awesome activities.

This Junior Golf Camp is for the 8-15 year old and is operated by LPGA instructor Nancy Laqua. Her goal is to provide budding young golfers of all levels with professional instruction in a fun and friendly style with plenty of games and prizes.

She has designed a series of one week day camps using the scenic Paris Grand Golf Course as the backdrop for her instructional school. Campers meet daily at this beautiful site on the banks of the Grand River from 8am to 1pm where they polish their skills both on the range and on the course.

Topics include putting, chipping, bunkers and full swing, as well as the rules and etiquette of this great sport. Snacks and lunch are provided daily. Golf clubs are available for use upon request.

Campers have the added option of staying any or all afternoons until 4pm or 5pm.

To prevent "junior golf fatigue" Nancy has changed up the afternoon activity for the juniors to do a Huck Finn raft & swim with the Grand River Rafting Company of Paris.

This is a guided 3 hour paddle in 8 person rafts that allow any child of size, age or agility to experience in safety. The rafting adventures not only allow the juniors to raft & swim, but even experience life jacket body surfing in a gentle 100 yard current teaching. Combined with this is the experience of visiting an island, drinking from springs and experiencing fun splash… there are hikes teaching them on edible & medicinal plants, local native history and unique wildlife/fish of the valley.

Another adventure is an afternoon at the one of a kind indoor archery range at the Big Catch Outdoor Fishing & Hunting store in Paris or an afternoon of golfing with other awesome activities.

The Golf Rocks Camps are eligible for the new Children's Fitness Tax Credit. There are normally 5 camps offered during the summer to fit in with busy vacation family schedules.

The cost per child is $205 per week (8am-1pm)… additional afternoon activities from 1pm-4pm @ $27/afternoon. For more information on exact dates Nancy Laqua can be contacted at (905) 973-1626 or email golfrocks@cogeco.ca.

For a summer adventure that brings golfing and the great outdoors of Southern Ontario together… knock at the door of Golf Rocks to give your child a one of a kind summer experience.
