Coach's Message

It's time to get ready for the CAMP! We design all the camp activities to promote healthier and faster running while fostering personal confidence and growth. You are a person to us - not just a number. You get personalized attention in a friendly atmosphere. The Arizona Running Camp experience is best portrayed by the campers themselves. Read on...


Mental

After attending the camp, I regretted not learning about mental toughness sooner! It definitely made a positive impression on my running, while also creating lasting memories, friendships and inside jokes!

Physical

Coach Dean's training is superb! He incorporates speed, strength, and distance into his practices making workouts fit for all types of runners.

Social

I attended the camp for two years, and then became a counselor this past year. Aside from learning training tips, doing tough workouts, and playing different games, I've noticed that the bonds created at this camp between the people grow into friendships that I know will last a lifetime.

Leadership

Dean's attitude about running tough and smart has made me a better athlete and a better captain for my peers. The memories of the people I met there and our experiences at camp will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Variety

ak
The setting of the camp is perfect! Where we sleep is about a quarter of a mile away from the cafeteria, about a half mile away from the trails we use, and right next to a few basketball and volleyball courts.

Environment

Coach Dean is a perfect fit for high school kids. In fact, at times, he can be one of the kids. He incorporates appropriate amounts of humor and games to keep teenagers engaged and knows when and how to set limits!

Fun

There are no excuses, not even if you had to get your fish spayed, or if 50 Cent decided to take you to the candy shop, or if you found out your dad really isn't Kenyan. You have to be strong, physically & mentally!

Success

Every workout with Coach Dean is a confidence boost. That’s just what happens when you’re running for someone who genuinely believes in you, and your ability to succeed. Even when nobody else does. Especially when you don't.

Support

This camp produce more than just great runners, it produces great people. The bonding that takes place while pushing through physical pain is immense and the kids immediately pick up on how important supporting each other is.
