Exclusive Power 4 Collegiate Guest Coaches & Speakers

Full Access

This camp features guest appearances from Power 4 collegiate coaches, with direct access for every athlete in attendance.

Every athlete participates. No separate groups. No limited sessions.

 

Athletes will be exposed to the training environments and performance standards used at top NCAA Division I programs.


About:

Big Bear Track Club will host a three week high performance training camp for dedicated middle distance and distance athletes. This camp is designed to build a powerful aerobic base, develop race specific fitness, and prepare athletes for a breakthrough cross country season.

 

Camp Investment: $3,850 per athlete

This includes:

• Lodging

• All meals

• Daily coaching and structured training

• Transportation during camp

• Full time supervision

 

Training will take place in Big Bear Lake at altitude, providing a unique physiological advantage. Athletes who spend extended time at altitude, especially 14 days or more, can experience meaningful gains in aerobic capacity, red blood cell production, and overall performance. These adaptations often carry into the competitive season.

 

The Bigger the Base, the Bigger the Peak.
