Camp is the longest continuing program of its kind in the United States. During the past 51 years, thousands of runners of all ages have enjoyed running the wooded trails, fields, and beaches of Seattle Pacific University’s Camp Casey Campus on Whidbey Island. Many return to test the “ridge” and ride the Port Townsend ferry. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to run at Casey in the summer of 2011!

Program: The program includes two formal training sessions each day for junior and senior high campers. The morning run is a special time of camaraderie. The afternoon session focuses on technique and racing strategy. Each of the daily teaching and discussion sessions addresses such topics as: schedule building, mental and physical preparation, injury prevention, nutrition, strength and flexibility training, motivation, cross-training and race preparation. Attention Teams: Following the sessions, time will be provided for you as a team to discuss what speakers have presented on and how you can apply it to your season ahead.
