Casa de Campo’s Sports Academies
Did you know that the Dominican Republic’s Casa de Campo Resort & Villas offers specialty programs for children in three different sports? The Junior Golf Academy accommodates children as young as 4 and costs just $15 per 1-hour session through age 8 and $25 per 2-hour session for older students. And yes, the kids get to play on a Pete Dye course. The Junior Tennis Academy costs $100 per month, worth the money even for short-stay guests. The summers-only Junior Shooting Academy ($70 per month; ages 7-17) teaches safe handling and marksmanship in trap, skeet and sporting clays. Currently the resort has a Christmas Sale when booking by November 15 for travel between December 22-January 2 for 5 nights or longer. The package includes lodge or hotel room accommodations, golf cart use for your stay, internet and nightclub access.
