Program Benefits

The objective of the Callaway Golf for Kids program is to provide opportunities for all elementary school students have a positive golf course experience before they reach high school.

Active 2010 and Healthy Schools are two Ontario government programs designed to promote and increase physical activity.  Healthy Schools is an umbrella initiative with many important features including daily physical activity, healthy eating habits and character building.  The Callaway Golf for Kids program uses golf as the vehicle to achieve these basic principles.

Eating healthy, participating in sports and daily physical activity are vital parts of growing up and leads to healthy minds and improved academic performance.  Fundamental movements such as jumping, throwing, leaping, walking, running and even dancing are all different ways to improve fitness and achieve an extra 20 minutes of daily physical activity.  Each component of the Callaway Golf for Kids program is interactive and fun for kids.

 Honesty, fairness, respect and responsibility form the foundation of golf and play a vital role in this program.  Communities are only as strong as the citizens who live in them. We hope golf and its inclusion in school programs will help generations succeed as the strong leaders of tomorrow.

Callaway Golf for Kids has strived to ensure that our programming incorporates life-skills and values that are invaluable to leading a good life.  These include shaking hands, positive re-enforcement, realistic program goals, individuality and team work.
