There will be two runs a day while at camp. Campers will run
with others at the same ability level and at the mileage you are
ready for; we will never push you to do more than you are
capable of. The morning run will be about 2-3 miles and the
afternoon run can range from 3-8 miles. Each run, coaches will
lead small running groups out on scenic routes. Midweek, we will
do a fartlek run through the campsite. The last day of camp
there is a cross country race among the athletes on camp
grounds. At the end of the race each participant will receive a
medal for their completion.

Included in the price homemade healthy breakfasts,
lunches, and dinners are served to all campers
throughout the week. Served family style, there are
many options to choose from. There is always a main
course with sides, along with pasta and salads. The
cooks always make more than enough for everyone at
each sitting.. Many former campers describe the food
as the best camp food they have ever had. One camper
stated, "It's better than mama's cooking."

We have access to a lake front just steps away
from the cabins. This waterfront is under careful
watch of a trained lifeguard at all times. Available
in this area are: diving boards, waiting area,
blow-up trampoline, and basketball. This access
allows the runners to relax after their afternoon
run, do some water training, or just have fun.
