50th Anniversary
Have you been to camp before? We’re collecting memories of past campers (including staff, volunteers, tent assistants) in preparation for our 50th anniversary 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.)
Wesley Shipsey – U20 Mountain Running – 41st place – 4th Best American Finisher. Michael Maiorano – U20 Mountain Running – 15th place Best American Finisher Jackson Brill – 40K Short Trail Running-30th place – 3rd Best American Finisher Max King – 40K Short Trail Running-19th Place – 2nd Best American Finisher Jason Bryant – Team USA Coach (and a Steens Coach 2014)
Congratulations!
Note of Interest: In 2014 Coach Jason Bryant helped Boise High’s Jackson Brill out of the Blitzen Gorge on The Big Day!
Why? – 19’ 6” Long Jump. – 37’6” Triple Jump – 25.31 200 Meters – Anchored Thurston Winning 4×100 Team
Runners credit success to the Altitude. I guess Jumpers credit leaping over Sagebrush, Rocks and Aspen Logs!
Breanna is coached by John Gillespie, former Oregon Asst. Coach and many time Steens coach. She is one of 80+ Steens Campers to compete in the OSAA State TF Meet held this weekend at Eugene’s Historic Hayward Field.
We at Steens give our very best to all campers including those from 14 other States.
