Summer Camp Experiences | The most useful thing I learned at camp was...
We learned about our core, running mechanics, and how to keep our bodies healthy.
Cal Poly Distance Camp
Taylor Lawson & Alice Baker, Berkeley CA
I will definitely be more motivated. I will learn how to adapt with the hardships of running, which will make me more determined.
Steens Mountain Running Camp
Jordan Engelhardt, Boise ID
The things I learned and the people I got to talk to will help keep me motivated to work harder.
Nike Five-Star Cross Country Camp
Emma, Wurtsboro WY
It motivated me to maintain determination for the upcoming season. I learned a lot about racing, nutrition, shoes, stride, and training that is going to better me as an individual and team runner. I had a great time and had the opportunity to meet many new runners of varying ages. Both the boy and girl runners that I spent time with has positive information to share and contribute about the sport. Overall, I had a very positive learning experience with the helpful and driven coaches and campers. I can’t wait to return next year!
Humboldt State University Running Camp
Allie, Bayside CA
How do you think your camp experience will benefit you during the fall season?
I think it turned me into a better leader, and hopefully will make cross country races feel much easier. As a group we ran across a canyon for the cross canyon 5k. our team’s time was 40 minutes, which I thought would have never been possible. I’ll end with the Tent 8 quote, “Cross canyon is nothing more than an attempt to overemphasize in order to trivialize every complaint you might have had about a cross country course.” – Harland Triarte.

I think that I will be more motivated to put in 100% effort during my fall season training because of the people I met and talked with at camp.
