Half Day Junior Golf Camps are single-day camps that run 3 hours per session and include fun activities and games that complement and nurture golf skills, plus unlimited range balls during each camp. Half Day Junior Golf Camps also include a free 9-hole round for every camp attended, with specific time restrictions and a requirement to be accompanied by an adult age 21 and older. Recommended equipment for Half Day Junior Golf Camps includes a wood, a #5 iron, a #9 iron, and a putter.

All Day Junior Golf Camps are single-day camps that run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and include concentrated instruction in all areas of the game, unlimited range balls, lunch, and 9 holes of professionally supervised golf. All Day Junior Golf Camps use three instruction stations during the day where juniors learn and practice putting, chipping, and full swing before going onto the golf course to learn rules of play, rules of etiquette, and course management (strategy). Lunch for All Day Junior Golf Camps includes a hot dog, chips, and a soft drink, and juniors may bring snacks. Recommended equipment for All Day Junior Golf Camps is a starter or full set of clubs. Both All Day Junior Golf Camps and Half Day Junior Golf Camps are limited to the first 12 juniors to register, and the juniors in these golf camps are taught and supervised by a member of the Village Links Professional Staff the entire day.

The Advanced Junior Golf Camp is a qualification-only, full-day program for experienced juniors who are ready to transition to 18-hole play while sharpening advanced skills, course management, and competitive readiness. Advanced Junior Golf Camps feature 90 minutes of structured instruction followed by a supervised 18-hole round with on-course coaching. Participants in Advanced Junior Golf Camps must complete at least one All Day Camp and demonstrate strong etiquette, pace of play, rules knowledge, and readiness to benefit from advanced instruction. Enrollment in Advanced Junior Golf Camps is capped at 8 students with 1 instructor, and the cost includes lunch at the halfway house (hot dog, brat, or hamburger, chips, and a Gatorade or bottled water) during the round.

Camp guidelines state that collared shirts are recommended and tee shirts are acceptable, with no tank tops. Campers will be outdoors, so sunscreen should be applied if needed, and water bottles and hats are encouraged. Juniors may bring snacks to All Day Junior Golf Camps.
