We have two main travel opportunities for our team throughout the summer and season. We have a high altitude training camp at the CSU Mountain Campus in the summer and an end of season meet in Arizona for the NXR Regional Nike meet. See the details below on each of these opportunities for our athletes.
High Altitude Training Camp
We have a high altitude training camp at the CSU mountain campus for all of our athletes to get some training at altitude and bond as a team before the season begins.
What? Stay away camp open to all athletes (including freshmen new to the team)
When? July 25th – July 28th
Where? CSU Mountain Campus
Transportation Coaches and parents shuttle students up to the campus and back down
Chaperones/Coaches We ensure that at least 2 coaches are on this trip (most of the time it is all 4 because it is so fun!)
Cost Families typically pay $375 for the full camp (includes lodging, meals and all activities)
More information will be shared throughout the summer. Please contact Coach P if you have additional questions.
