Game Changers Camps run Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at Blacklick Woods Metro Golf Course in Reynoldsburg. Kids ages 7-13 learn golf skills AND life skills like goal-setting, teamwork and resilience. Camp weeks are available starting June 8 and running through July.

Limited spaces are still available in our weekly classes as well!

Financial aid is available and no family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Day to our incredible FTCO volunteers!

You show up on the course, at events and in our community to help kids build skills that last them a lifetime. Every time you show up, you're helping our participants find their confidence, learn to lead and grow into who they're meant to be.

Our volunteers don't just teach golf. They teach kids how to handle challenges, set goals and believe in themselves. That's what Building Game Changers is all about and it doesn't happen without YOU. 💚

Thank you for giving your time, your energy and your heart to the kids of Central Ohio. We are so grateful for every single one of you!
