Our goal for summer camps is to educate local athletes on the philosophy, science, mechanics, and strategy of various technical track and field events through instruction and experience, while also highlighting local college coaches’ methodologies and programs. We ran our first camp in 2024 for Hurdles and it was a hit! We plan to offer new camps every year.
Camps are open to high school through masters athletes of all abilities- from beginner to advanced.
