Come learn with the 2023 Southland Conference Champions! This is a one of a kind camp that has been held in Central San Antonio since its inception in the summer of 2006. Throughout the years, past campers have included Regional, State and National qualifiers!
Our camp counselors (current UIW cross country student athletes) are well versed in all things cross country with years of experience at the Regional, National and State level along with collegiate experience at the NCAA Division I level.
We do our daily run at 7 a.m. each day. If commuting, drop off will be at designated dorm room entrance at 6:45 a.m. each day. After morning run, we eat breakfast and clean up to continue our day. We will have running-themed discussions throughout day as well as team activities, leadership training and more fun! We will end each day with a devotional and team-centered time.
Each camper will be placed on a "running team." These 4-5 person teams will be their group throughout the duration of the camp. We do this so our campers can form bonds and focus on team-building relationships and learn valuable leadership skills that will help them during their school season.
Discounts available for commuters, UIW Employees, multiple children and military. Register 5 or more runners from the same high school team and receive a $30 per camper discount. Contact us for more information!
