Pathfinder Immersion Program
First Tee – Greater Charleston launched a robust immersion program in 2021 that provides impactful year-round experiences for students on the brink of success. Participants enter the program the summer before 6th grade and continue through high school. They meet Monday-Friday during the summer and on Saturdays during the school year for golf, mentoring, and STEM enrichment activities. Participants also receive healthy meals, transportation, and support from dedicated instructors.
PROGRAM UPDATE: We are currently accepting applications for our summer session. Students must complete 5th grade as of spring 2025 to apply. Accepted students will join us this June for their first 6-week summer camp followed by weekend activities during the school year. There is no cost to apply. Applications are due April 14, 2025.
