Grades: Students entering 4th through 8th grade New Trier Cross Country Head Coaches, John Burnside and Matt Sloan, have designed a camp to introduce children with less experience to the challenges and joys of running. The coaches, including New Trier cross country team members, will offer participants opportunities to set and achieve goals, build endurance and speed, become more fit and build self-esteem. Stretching, endurance, threshold and speed techniques will be emphasized. Most importantly, campers will gain an appreciation for the sport. This is a wonderful introduction to running that can provide fitness for other sports or act as a first step toward competitive running.
