USA Bowling Summer Camps

Did you know more than eight million kids attend summer camps every year? As part of a new youth initiative, the International Bowling Campus is excited to announce the development of USA Bowling Summer Camps. For beginners to advanced skill levels, USA Bowling Summer Camps were created with every child in mind. Step-by-step guides and more than 100 pages of coaches’ curriculum are available on the Youth Resource Center web page to help centers begin developing a successful camp in their center this summer!

Follow the guides or use the curriculum and customize your own camp today. For questions about the USA Bowling Summer Camps, please contact Emily Maier at 817-385-8339 or emaier@ibcyouth.com.
