Looking to get my 8 year old in a golf camp this summer. Any recommendations for a golf camp for beginners in the Baton Rouge area?

The Island hosts a summer camp for kids. They have several date options. Our kids have gone and they love it.

The Island (though may not be close for BR)
I think Pelican Point and UClub do one (not sure if non-members allowed)
First Tee EBR does a few sessions at Clark and Santa Maria (maybe Beaver too)

Group camps are the absolute worst way to get any kid into golf way too much down time and it’s not basketball- a kid needs to be able to consistently make solid contact. I would invest heavily in individual lessons with the best coach in your area… it makes a tremendous difference

I did the group pga camp last year for my 8 year old. From an improvement standpoint if was a total waste of time, he didn't learn anything. He did enjoy it thoroughly.
I would think about what your trying to accomplish.
1) are you just trying to give him something to do
2) trying to get him hooked on golf
3) wanting him to advance and learn
PGA camps are good for the first two
If he is wanting to gain skill and knowledge, I would find him a one on one camp and roll with it. My son has been taking lessons and starting tournaments since last year. He is hooked and loves it. Told me he didn't want to do the PGA camp again. He loves the training and tournaments
