Cross Country Camp and Astronomy Combo - August 3 - August 7
Cross Country Camp
Cross Country is a fall sport. For that reason it is imperative to build a solid foundation during the summer. Most cross country athletes are told by their coaches to make sure that they do some summer running. But what does that really mean?
There are two types of running; aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic running focuses on a relaxed breathing technique and encourages athletes to work on form. Anaerobic running falls under the category of restricted air, which pertains to hard workouts such as interval training. The key to being a successful cross country athlete relies on the ability of being able to properly balance these two types of running methods.
Program Objectives:
Our one week intensive training regimen will expose our campers to:
• Long aerobic runs
• Threshold training
• Repetition training (Hill Running)
• Strides at goal pace
• Interval Training
• Competition (Last Day of Camp)
Astronomy
Students will explore and expand their knowledge of the mystery of our planet and the universe. This activity will consist of hands-on experiments, discussion sessions, and demonstrations. We will use a special computer simulation to understand phenomena such as: how the Earth rotates around the sun, the four seasons, the Lunar phases, and the scale of our universe in relation to Galaxies and the Milky Way. We even try to travel to Mars! Also, we will have a chance to use Galileo's telescope to search for distant objects. This offers a unique educational experience to challenge student's abilities and their love of learning.
