Since 2018, RV Golf Schools have welcomed young golfers from around the world to experience more than just traditional instruction.
Founded by Rick Valentine, whose coaching legacy dates back to 2003, these summer camps focus on total development—building skills, confidence, and unforgettable friendships, all in a supportive and inspiring environment.
The camps offer more than just technical training. They create a space where junior golfers aged 10–18 can thrive through personalised mentorship, expert coaching, and an exciting, structured schedule that blends development with fun.
Whether aiming for a handicap goal or picking up a club for the first time, RV Golf Camps provide the perfect summer experience to support growth.

Who can benefit from the camp?
The camps are ideal for:
- Beginners looking to start their golf journey in a structured and fun environment
- Intermediate and competitive players aiming to take their performance to the next level
- International juniors seeking a unique experience in the home of golf
- Returning players wanting to build on past progress and reconnect with the RV Golf community
A low coach-to-player ratio ensures every participant receives the attention they deserve. The goal is to help each camper set and achieve personal goals—both on the course and beyond.

A proven track record of developing young golfers
Since Rick Valentine’s first golf camp in 2003, over 1,500 young golfers have been mentored under his guidance. His approach is built on the belief that high performance and enjoyment go hand in hand. Golf should be fun, engaging, and an opportunity for growth. With Rick’s extensive background in elite coaching and junior development, the RV Golf Schools experience is structured yet flexible, challenging yet supportive. This is why the camps attract both beginners eager to start their golfing journey and experienced juniors aiming to fine-tune their skills.

What makes RV Golf Camps unique?
At the heart of RV Golf Schools lies a holistic coaching philosophy developed by Rick Valentine over two decades of working with young athletes. While technique and skill development are core pillars of every session, the camps are built around a bigger goal: empowering young golfers to grow in confidence, build resilience, and learn to thrive both on and off the golf course.
Every camper becomes part of a supportive, inclusive environment where individual attention and personalised coaching take centre stage. It’s a place where junior golfers can flourish not just as athletes, but as people.

A message from the camp founder and leader
“Our camps are about much more than golf. We build a positive, inclusive culture where young people feel valued, supported, and challenged. It’s about developing the person, not just the player. We’re proud to have welcomed over 1,500 young golfers since we began, and every summer we see returning faces and new talent growing together.” – Rick Valentine, Founder
