We're so glad to be returning this year! We will have COVID protocols in place with masking while under the pavilion, temperature taking each day upon arrival and a daily COVID questionaire. Running embraces the freedom of nature so is naturally socially distant!

In its 20th year, the camp is held at bucolic Lodestar Park which offers a host of varying terrains making it the perfect venue to prepare middle and high school kids for their upcoming cross country season or condition them for whatever fall sport they do.
