Summer Youth Swimming Instruction
Lakers Junior Golf Camp
Grand Valley State University and its coaching staff is happy to offer this tennis camp to the Greater Grand Rapids community! If you are searching for an opportunity for your young camper to experience a high energy, fun filled week of tennis, this is a perfect way to do so.
Each class is divided into several teaching stations (4-8 students) determined by the ages and abilities of the students enrolled in that class period. Students are assigned to a teaching station using the information shown on your registration form and by a water evaluation done during the first class. Our goal is to provide a small group teaching and learning environment to allow maximum skill development for each individual student.
The Lakers Junior Golf Camp, hosted by Grand Valley State University, runs from August 4 to 8, 2025 at the Meadows at GVSU in Allendale, MI, and is designed for boys and girls entering grades 1–7 with half-day sessions from 9 AM to 12 PM. Campers receive professional instruction, snacks, a GVSU T‑shirt, participate in a 9-hole tournament, and attend an awards banquet.
