Join us at Inver Wood Golf Course for Warriors Youth Golf Camp this summer! Improve your golf skills and have fun! Beginner: Whether you’ve never held a club or you're just looking to stop hitting the grass more than the ball, a beginner golf camp is the perfect low-pressure entry point into the sport. These programs trade stuffy traditions for high-energy drills, focusing on the fundamental "building blocks" of the game: grip, stance, and swing mechanics. Under the guidance of Coach Schwister and volunteers, you’ll navigate everything from the finesse of the putting green to the raw power of the driving range. It’s less about shooting a perfect score and more about building confidence, learning etiquette, and—most importantly—realizing that everyone looks a little bit silly when they’re first starting out. Tues/Thur, July 7-30th Tuesdays: 10:00am - 11am: Driving Range and Putting Green Thursdays: 10:00am – 12:30pm: Putting and on course playing 3-9 holes depending on experience level Families must join Youth on Course for $20 (paid to Youth on Course in the link below) to play at Inver Wood for $5 on the four Thursdays.

School District 197 Youth Enrichment is now partnering with Safeway Driving School to offer our Driver's Education classes. Safeway has been graduating safe teen drivers in the Twin Cities for over 50 years. Safeway’s only focus is creating safe, responsible teen drivers. Classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons emphasize defensive driving techniques tailored for the inexperienced teen driver while targeting to influence the invincible teen attitude. All of Safeway’s instructors are licensed by the Minnesota Dept. of Public Safety. Parent involvement is required to produce safe, responsible teen drivers. It is critical that parents practice regularly with their student drivers. The state requires that students have a minimum of 50 hours of practice (15 hours at night). The practice time must be recorded on a state-approved Supervised Driving Log and presented at the road test. Parent Classes are offered monthly in person or by distance learning (via Zoom). This class is not required but qualifies the parent to receive a certificate that allows their student reduced practice time (from 50 to 40 hours). Parents can sign up for a Parent Class on Safeway’s website. At a minimum, Safeway strongly encourages parents to review its parent information and watch the online Parent Class Videos at www.safewaydrivingschool.com. Cost of the teen package is $420 and includes the classroom, behind-the-wheel lessons and all materials. There are no hidden charges or additional fuel surcharges. Pay in full upon registration $420 or choose the payment plan: $250 at registration and $170 due the Friday before class starts. Students must be at least 14.5 years old to join the class.

Join us at Inver Wood Golf Course for Warriors Youth Golf Camp this summer! Improve your golf skills and have fun! Intermediate: For those who have moved past the "whiffing" stage and are ready to shave strokes off their scorecard, an intermediate golf camp shifts the focus from basic contact to strategic execution. These sessions dive deep into the nuances of the game, such as shot shaping, advanced short-game recovery, and course management. Rather than just swinging hard, you’ll learn how to read greens like a pro and choose the right club for tricky lies or windy conditions. It’s the ideal environment to refine your "misses" and turn those frustrating double-bogeys into steady pars through personalized swing analysis and data-driven feedback.
