At Lake Geneva Youth Camp, our mission is to be a place set apart for life-changing experiences in Christ. Our Golf Camp is designed to integrate this mission by providing an environment where young golfers can grow in their faith, develop their golf skills, and experience transformative spiritual and personal growth.
Lake Geneva Golf Camp will be in partnership with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes as well as Grand Geneva Resort & Spa! At FCA they unite two passions, faith and athletics, to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
*Golf Camp will not be offering any sponsorships*
