WHAT TO EXPECT
A low-pressure & super-fun introduction to running for young athletes grade 2-8! Sure, we’ll take the kiddos running, but it’s beyond just logging miles & sweating away the summer. Our program focuses on instilling joy & enthusiasm for running & building knowledge and appreciation. Here’s what to expect.
- Intro to workout structures, including proper stretching, warm-ups, and basic workout terminology.
- Basic nutrition ideas that are made for kids!
- Games centered around running to make it fun!
COACHING
Our certified head coach has years of experience leading all ages and abilities. We also have assistant coaches from area high school XC & track programs to add excitement & knowledge. We have 2-3 coaches minimum for each program and sometimes more depending on the group size. It allows us to break out into smaller groups for an even better experience.
SAFETY DURING COVID-19
We take the risks and challenges of operating a camp during the time of COVID-19 very seriously. We also recognize how important physical exercise and movement is to our immune systems, especially our children. We will be adhering to state standards for small gatherings and distancing requirements by doing the following:
- Splitting our small camp into smaller manageable sizes
- Requiring all kids to bring their own water bottles
- Operating games and running activities that limit close contact.
- Only offering outdoor activities in the open air, where the risk of infection is significantly lower.
- No shared snacks.
- Requiring that our coaches wear masks when possible in close proximity to campers (the rest of the time, for safety, they will need to remove masks for safe communication and health).
