CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Since 2001, Steve has been named one of Golf Magazine’s Top 100 golf instructors in the United States. He is currently the only TOP 100 in the Washington, DC metro area and was named the Middle Atlantic PGA Teacher of the Year for the second time, only the second person in history with this accomplishment.

Steve’s Academy is based in the heart of the nation’s capital. He is serving as an adjunct professor for the national PGA Education Committee, teaching the future teachers of the game how to teach. His list of clients includes many of the movers and shakers in the nation’s capital, including some of the best players on the professional golf tours, members of the entertainment industry, and CEOs and presidents of major corporations.

But one of Steve’s real passions is for instructing junior golfers maybe because he knows junior golf first-hand, with four of his own children playing and competing. He has walked countless practice and tournament rounds, both as a parent with his children, as a coach with his team for a private school, as well as a teacher with his many junior students. He has guided hundreds of juniors from the entire MidAtlantic region to college scholarships, again, starting with his own family.

Steve has been involved with junior competitive golf starting with US Kids, AJGA, state events, to college championships and many more in-between. Steve knows the “ins and outs” of junior golf planning and college recruiting, again speaking first hand from personal experience.

Two of his sons played at the University of Maryland and his youngest daughter is finishing up playing for the Towson Tigers. His youngest son, Sean, won the Maryland Amateur, two Maryland Opens, and was the first alternate on site at the 2016 US Open at Oakmont. Most recently, Sean earned his PGA/Latin America Tour card for 2017.

As a player, Steve understands what it’s like to stand on the first tee and be so nervous that it’s hard to breathe. He has played in three PGA Tour events, one Kemper Open and two Anheuser-Busch Classics. He owns one course record of 10 under par 62, which has stood for over 35 years. His personal experience in those extremely stressful conditions has helped him know how to teach his students to deal and be successful in the same competitive situations - tournament golf.

Steve has learned and observed from many of the world’s finest teachers including Jim Flick, Paul Runyan, Dave Pelz, Hank Haney, Martin Hall, Mac O’Grady, Jimmy Ballard, Ben Doyle, Dr. Bob Rotella and Bill Strasbaugh, to name a few. His thirst for knowledge has led him on a quest to learn as much about the golf swing and all that is involved in achieving ones potential and goals. He has learned and communicate the breakdown of the golf swing into simple, easy-to-understand concepts for his students. He believes in building on one swing change at a time, at a pace his students can apply successfully.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Active Learning Services, Ltd operates enrichment programs designed to stimulate creative thinking, improve thinking, logic and memory skills and give children "thinking alternatives" to sports camps and other summer programs. Our programs include chess programs and camps thru USA Chess, Our Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Programs and our Active Learning Computer Enrichment Programs.

Our staff is, comprised of the best children's chess instructors in North America! The USA Chess camps are uniquely qualified to cater to the needs of the advanced scholastic player as well as the true beginner. USA Chess hit its first milestone in the summer of 2000 producing the largest chess camp ever held in the United States, with more than 250 students enrolled. What was most surprising, however, was the amount of absolute beginners in attendance - more than 50% of the total enrollment was just starting to play chess. This realization led to the national rollout tour of 100 camps in more than 70 cities. The annual tours have been immensely successful with several thousand campers attending this year alone.

USA Chess thrives on providing a structured environment that is extremely conducive to learning chess. We handpick the best children's chess instructors from all over the United States and bring them to each camp. We believe our team is most effective in teaching chess to children of all ages and levels. The exceptional organization and ever-fun curriculum has fueled much interest from scholastic players and coaches from around the country, prompting them to request USA Chess camps in their areas.

At the same summer camp locations, we also offer the immensely popular Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Camps, The Active Learning Computer Animation Programs, and other Computer Enrichment Programs such as Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft. We now offer seven unique programs in all.

At these camps, children are assigned a computer for the week; they spend the week learning to create their own one-of- a- kind video games in our Gamebuilder Camps, Animation Projects in our Animation Camps, also Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft.

CAMP FACILITIES: The Conservancy is steward to Mt. Pleasant's farmhouse, circa 1692, as well as its eight farm outbuildings, circa 1900. We are also home to Montjoy Barn, thought to be the oldest barn in Howard County. Montjoy was saved from demolition, disassembled and rebuilt on the grounds of the Conservancy.

Modern amenities are located in the newly-expanded and renovated Gudelsky Environmental Education Center. Campers will use the classroom as well as barns and open space.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Conservancy offers full-day nature camps in one week sessions at our Mt. Pleasant location in Woodstock, MD and our Belmont location in Elkridge, MD. Our nature camps encourage children to learn about Howard County’s ecology and natural history through fun and exciting hikes, experiments, stories, and hands-on exploration of our nature centers and parkland. Camps will include outdoor skills and all-camp activities as well.

Nature camp runs from 9:00am – 3:30pm with Before and After Care options available. Campers must be between the ages of 5 – 12.

The Conservancy’s camps are designed to nurture respect for the natural world, increase awareness of environmental issues and instill a sense of stewardship. Campers will hike, explore the landscape, participate in stewardship projects, play nature games and create earth friendly arts and crafts!
