YOUTH/JUNIOR OVERNIGHT 3DAY SUMMER CAMP
This camp is for those currently on our Youth/Junior program, hoping to get more involved in the sport of triathlon, while building friendships among teammates to training in "new to us" locations. This is a 2night/3day overnight camp in Hope, Alaska (90miles from Anchorage). Camp will include transportation of athletes along with their gear and bikes in our race trailer (fully empty to allow for room for gear!), though families are welcome to drive their athletes to/from the cabin. The cabin has electricity but it is a semi-dry cabin (no showers or flushing toilets, we will have access to running water). The cabin sleeps 16 in beds but camp will be limited to 8. We will have 2 coaches, Coach Heather & Coach Charlotte. The goal in the future is to have this camp PRIOR to youth/junior nationals and the week prior to Kid's Triathlon Camp to allow us to have collegiate coaches join us as well, but unfortunately USAT did not announce nationals until after our camp was launched and sold out! I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback so we can grow this opportunity to support our youth/junior program in the future.
