Miami Valley Trail Life Distance Running Camp
Dear Parents,
Thank you for considering our Miami Valley Trail Life Distance
Running Camp. This is our first year and rest assured that your child’s 2010 camp experience will be every bit rewarding. Campers will be staying in Antioch campus dormitories across from the Glen Helen educational center which has 25 miles of trails located within 1000 acres of nature preserve. Those considering sending a child should know that the camper’s safety and welfare are our top priority and that your child will receive professional instruction from a team of outstanding collegiate athletes.
Thank you for considering us for your child’s Distance Running Camp experience. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
Warm regards,
Samuel Borchers and Evan Firestone
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
ABOUT THE CAMP
Miami Valley Trail Life Distance Running Camp is designed for students entering grades seven through twelve next fall. High school graduates are also eligible to enroll.
Our camp will help develop skills and techniques for distance running. This camp is for learning. Participants take part in drills, attend lectures and demonstrations. Other aspects of competition — nutrition, rest, relaxation, general health, and one on one goal setting — are also part of the daily training. Because performance levels of campers may vary from beginner to advanced, instruction is individualized to accommodate that range.
Campers will take advantage of refreshing runs in the Glen Helen nature preserve and John Bryan State Park; both of which will provide varied and challenging terrain to prepare them for upcoming cross country season.
Campers will attend MVTC track practice at the Yellow Springs High School track facility overseen by Coach Vince Peters. And benefit from evening sessions of informative talks, competitions, and recreational activities.
