  How much fun would it be to bring in something from home and give it a new life - think: chair, stool, lamp and lamp shade, side table, serving trays, clothing, shower curtain, tablecloth, a door, the sky is the limit! The week will be filled with sanding, prepping, painting, and lots of mess but that’s what makes it so much fun! And along the way we will sneak in creating a large slot sculpture animal.
  
  Bring a snack and lots of imagination. Big shirts will be provided to help keep campers' clothes clean throughout the messy art making process.

• Skyhawks Beginning Golf

  One of our most popular programs, Skyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes through proper technique and refining the essential skills of the game. Golf is a challenging and lifelong sport, so young athletes need proper focus on the fundamentals of form, swinging, putting and body positioning. To assist in this training, Skyhawks utilizes the ShortGolf® system which uses modified equipment and a curriculum developed by PGA professionals. ShortGolf is specifically designed for the entry-level player and simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy & effective transition onto the golf course.
  
  No need to bring your own clubs, all equipment is provided. For safety reasons we keep the instructor to camper ratio for this program very low, resulting in limited availability. As a result, these programs fill up quickly.
