Description

P3R Junior Running Camp is the perfect place for your child to learn about running and have fun at the same time!

 

About Camp:
Our twice a week, 4-week camp is geared toward kids entering grades 4-7 for the 2018-19 school year. During the 2 hours we’re together, our coaches will teach running form, pacing and technique, but we also want to have fun. We’ll encourage team building, try healthy snacks, and play games that will have your child laughing until you pick them up from camp!

Camper Benefits:

  • Water and healthy snack provided at each session
  • Commemorative Junior Running Camp shirt at the end of camp
  • Free entry for the GNC Live Well Liberty Mile race on Friday, July 20
