Description:

Steens Mountain High Altitude Running Camp is a youth high school cross country running camp. The week is spent outdoors in rustic conditions in a place few get to experience. Steens Mountain is a running mecca that is in a hidden corner of SW Oregon that is as unique a place as it is beautiful. You’ll experience huge glacier carved gorges, sagebrush plains, and quaint aspen groves.

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.)
