Running Camp

Spend five days at the start of summer (and, if desired, then two days a week throughout the summer) learning about and practicing the greatest and oldest sport in the world—cross-country and distance running. Featuring elite coaches, individualized instruction and scenic runs that often end with a swim, you’ll walk away—no, you’ll run away!—with an unforgettable experience and fine-tuned skills, hungry for the fall season to start. Our hands-on approach and expertise make this camp unique, whether you are a good runner trying to become great or a novice runner just learning the sport. Our coaches possess deep skills, both in the sport of running and as educators working with children. Your child will leave our camp at the end of the week or end of the summer a better athlete and a more confident student. We teach the campers about running, discipline, and motivation.

Worried about not wearing the right costume? There isn’t one! Nervous about not hitting your mark? There is no choreography! Scared about not remembering your lines? There aren’t any! Improvisational comedy is a theatrical art form where improvisers perform without a script. You and your new scene partners will hit the stage and take part in one of the oldest forms of theater dating back to 391 BC. Yes, it is that old! I haven’t even got to the best part: NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Just bring a positive attitude, an open mind, and maybe a banana peel (just kidding!). So…what are you waiting for? Come and join our improv comedy troupe this summer!
