FAQ

My kid is not in AAA. Is this too much?
Not necessarily. We look at commitment before current level. If the athlete can come 4-5 times a week and has a goal, the camp fits. We review each case at registration.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. Four payments with no interest: at registration, mid-May, early June and early July. Ask for it when you register.
Cancellation policy?
Full refund up to 30 days before the start. 50% up to 14 days before. No refund after the camp starts, except for a documented medical injury (pro rata for unused sessions).
What should I bring on day one?
Floor: indoor running shoes, a water bottle, training clothes. Ice: full equipment. Details are emailed when you register.
