Middle School Camp:
The middle school camp will meet at the same times and locations as the high school camp.

Training will be kept age appropriate for our younger runners at camp. Incoming 6th graders are also welcome to join our middle school cross country camp this summer.
Attendance:
Attendance is 100% optional. Many athletes will go on vacation or be out of town during the summer. Although we will offer a structured camp 5 to 6 days a week, athletes will not be turned away if they cannot make it to each practice.
Training:
All running programs are based on the experience and ability of each individual runner. We will also be working on flexibility and strength at camp to ensure that everyone stays strong and healthy. Every athlete will be given an individualized training plan to follow each week on the Final Surge App.
Final Surge:
Throughout the summer and fall season the coaches will be sending out workouts virtually through "The Final Surge". This will give runners the opportunity to view their weekly training plan throughout the summer and fall. This will also allow the coaches an opportunity to help you with your running by being able to coach you both in person and virtually.
