Camp Includes:

Specialized Training for your Athlete

Each workout begins with an active warm-up routine, which includes various drills and
exercises that help develop course strength, balance, and stability. After warm-ups,
athletes work with level-specific coaches in the development of speed, skill, fitness,
and competition strategies.

A Range of Competitive Opportunities

It doesn’t matter if your athlete has never competed in track and field before, or if
they have competed at the national level: we have competitive opportunities for all
levels of experience and talent. At the end of the camp, we will host an all-comers
meet, which is even open to members of the community to participate.

Workouts Designed to Provide an Enjoyable Experience

One of the main reasons we have organized this camp is to foster an enthusiasm for
distance running, as well as the sport of running in general. We believe that this is an
enjoyable, fun, and healthy way for children and teenagers to experience the structure
of a workout and the enjoyment of being an active participant on a team. Above all,
we value good teammates and personal bests.
