About Camp
This unique camp is designed to give campers (ages 13-18) a realistic wilderness running and camping experience. To enjoy and respect wilderness beauty through running, hiking and exploring, at high altitudes are the major objectives of this camp. Group and individual instruction will be given in all areas of distance training and racing, with emphasis on performance improvement through self reliance, personal accountability and teamwork strategies. To enhance personal growth, campers must be willing to adapt to lack of urban conveniences not found in the great outdoors. (i.e. cell phones, iPods, tablets, DVD players, and other technos just invented.)
Session One and Session Two Steens Campers will be fitted with a brand new pair of Nike Trail Shoes upon arrival to Camp on July 14 and July 21.
Conquer the trails in the Nike Air Zoom Terra Kiger 5. Ultra-lightweight Flymesh joins Nike React foam for a smooth ride. A perforated upper helps keep moisture out, while a sticky rubber outsole gives multi-directional traction on a variety of surfaces.
A reminder to confirmed registered campers: if you haven’t sent your Nike Shoe Size to us, please do so by May 15. Please refer to the email you were sent to order your shoes. Remember these Nike Air Zoom Kiger Shoes will be given to you at Camp.
