For track athletes, camp or school attendance
is a common way to broaden horizons, hone skills, and learn by doing
from specialist coaches and veteran athletes. It's a chance to meet
new friends and become immersed for a week or two in track &
field or running, an experience which can have noticeable effect
on an athlete's progression in the sport. Publication of the following
camp/school names and information should not be construed as a recommendation
of any camp by T&FN. This listing is offered as information
only about available camps. Parents and athletes should acquaint
themselves more fully about facilities, staff, etc., before deciding
which camp is best for them. Some of the camps exclude graduating
seniors. The listing below, with many detailed display ads, originally
appeared in the May 2003 issue of Track & Field News.
