INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES - If you've been finding it hard to get 21 friends together after school or on weekends for a pickup football game or baseball game, you might want to practice up on some individual sports. Saddleback courses offer many levels of instruction in golf, tennis, racquetball and badminton. Or get acquainted with one of the martial arts, such as Karate, Aikido or Tai Chi Ch'uan. We have something for everyone. Why, we even offer a course in surf camping.
