Learning how to drive can be an exciting milestone, and at Redwood Country Day Camp, our specialized Driver’s Ed program offers campers a safe and engaging way to learn and explore how to drive a golf cart, with close supervision and important safety measures.
A Fun and Unique Summer Camp Driving Experience
Redwood’s Driver’s Ed program introduces children from grades one and up the essentials of safe driving using a specially designed golf cart-style. Our qualified instructors guide campers through the process of steering, braking, and maneuvering, while emphasizing the importance of being safe drivers who make responsible decisions on the road.
Why Driver’s Ed at Redwood?
Hands-on learning: Campers gain practical experience behind the wheel by becoming safe drivers in a supervised and structured setting.
Confidence building: Campers get the opportunity to drive a golf cart, with reduced speed, close supervision and a secondary braking system for the instructor.
Fun summer camp atmosphere: Children learn vehicle instruction while enjoying all the excitement Redwood has to offer.
Safety First in a Supportive Environment
At Redwood, safety is always the top priority. The camper is only allowed on the golf cart with an instructor beside them. The golf cart has a controlled speed, a secondary braking system for the instructor and the path that the golf cart takes is on a grassy field surrounded by sandy paths and tailored trees.
Life Skills Learned Through Driver's Ed
At Redwood's Driver's Ed program, campers take on a new challenge as they learn how to drive the golf cart in a beautiful country environment. Learning to drive goes far beyond just handling a vehicle – it's about developing crucial life skills that benefit our campers in countless ways. Campers learn to act responsibly, be observant, listen carefully to instructions, and assess situations as they take on the challenge of driving the golf cart. Campers learn a new skill and have fun!
We've seen even the shyest campers come out of their shells behind the wheel, and the most energetic ones learn to take things slow and steady. It's not about becoming expert drivers – it's about trying something new, building confidence, and most importantly, having an absolute blast during their summer at Redwood.
Building Confidence and Creating Challenges
The Driver’s Ed activity at Redwood goes beyond just driving a golf cart—it provides a fun, safe, challenging summer camp experience.
An Exciting Camp Activity with Lasting Benefits
Redwood’s Driver’s Ed program is part of the broader camp experience at Redwood, offering children a unique chance to explore new skills while having fun. This balanced approach promotes:
Responsible behaviors for future success
A supportive environment that encourages learning
Memorable summer experiences that campers will talk about for years
Parents often tell us that this activity becomes the highlight of their children's summer stories. "Guess what, Mom? I drove today!" is often the excited greeting they hear at pickup. And while the kids are having a blast, they're naturally picking up skills like coordination, spatial awareness, and responsibility – though they're usually too busy having fun to notice they're learning!
