We’re excited to announce our annual Team Camp, taking place August 11–14 at Camp Lu Lay Lea in Lupton, Michigan! This four-day experience is designed to help our athletes grow as runners, teammates, and individuals—all while having a great time together at the start of the season.
Camp Lu Lay Lea offers incredible trails, beautiful scenery, and the perfect setting for both training and team bonding. Athletes will participate in daily runs, team-building activities, and group discussions focused on goal setting, leadership, and overcoming challenges.
In addition to training, campers will enjoy unique experiences like a trip to Lumberman’s Monument and a canoe adventure on the Rifle River. Evenings will include team games and bonfires, helping build the strong sense of community that defines our program.
The cost is $65 per athlete, which covers lodging, meals, activities, and transportation—making this an affordable and valuable experience for all participants.
This camp is one of the best opportunities for athletes to connect, improve, and start the season on the right foot. We strongly encourage all team members to attend; those who have gone in the past consistently say it’s one of the highlights of their season!
