The Strayhorn Cross Country Camp is a distance running camp for runners of all experience levels entering grades 4-9.  This year we are offering two camp sessions.  XC Camp Session 1 will be a 5-day running experience taking place June 5-June 9.  XC Camp Session 2 will be a 5-day running experience taking place June 19-June 23.  Each day of distance running experience will be held from 9:00 am–12:00 pm.  Both camps offer easy runs for runners wanting to experience a fun introduction to distance running and challenging runs for more experienced runners wanting a more demanding running and strength training experience.

The Strayhorn Cross Country Camp features group runs through the trails of Castlewood State Park, lessons on pre-running and post-running stretching techniques, proper warm-up routine, nutrition, hydration, teaching and reinforcement of proper running form, strength-training techniques, as well as team building and fun!  All camp participants will receive a camp t-shirt.  Campers will meet daily at Ladue Fifth Grade Center and take a bus to and from Castlewood State Park.  The camp is staffed by Cross Country Coach Matt Strayhorn, along with high school and collegiate runners.
