I am by no means a camper. I do not like bugs or sleeping outside. I am a runner who likes to travel, go on adventures, and try new things. These camps are for people like me. More like retreats with a bunch of running activities.
The article showcases a few camps and I was excited to see one located in Vermont. So I looked up the Lake Champlain Women's Running Camp and here's what I found out:
- This camp is for women only
- Located at the 700 acre Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes, VT
- Open to all training levels
- Expert staff
- Daily workshops
- Activities offered: yoga, swimming, kayaking, hiking
- 5 day overnight package $975-1600 (depends on room size)
- 3 day participant (no overnight) $525
- Packages are all-inclusive: lodging, meals, workshops, shirt, and notebook
- Not sure of the 2014 dates??
A quick Twitter chat on the subject and another runner notified me of the Craftsbury Running Camps also in Vermont. Here are the details for this one:
- Open to women and men
- Located at the 400 acre Craftsbury Outdoor Center in Craftsbury Common, VT
- Camps for varying interests/levels
- Professional coaches
- Varying lengths including a weekend option
- Optional field trips around Northeast Vermont
- Elective activities include: yoga, swim, bike rides, seminars
- 6/7 day overnight packages $1030-$1309
- 3 day weekend package $383
- Packages are all-inclusive: room, meals, coaching, facilities use, trips.
- Dates ranging from June-September
At first look these camps seem expensive, but when you take into account what's included (board, meals, coached running, extra activities), it's approximately the same price as your average vacation.
I'm putting the weekend Foliage & Running Camp at Craftsbury on my bucket-list.
Would you ever attend a running camp?
