Steens Mountain High Altitude Running Camp

This unique camp is designed to give campers (ages 13-18) a realistic wilderness running and camping experience. To enjoy and respect wilderness beauty through running, hiking and exploring, at high altitudes are the major objectives of this camp. Group and individual instruction will be given in all areas of distance training and racing, with emphasis on performance improvement through self reliance, personal accountability and teamwork strategies. To enhance personal growth, campers must be willing to adapt to lack of urban conveniences not found in the great outdoors. (i.e. cell phones, iPods, tablets, DVD players, and other technos just invented.)

Runners are Family

Runners are a Family

“Runners are family. There is this…. feeling. This feeling that you are connected, working together towards some common goal. When I run on a track or on the streets, I have this sense of pride, this sense of respect for everyone else out there with me. I know it’s hard. Trust me, I know it’s difficult to get your sore butt out of bed when it’s pouring rain, or the sun’s not up, or its so cold you can’t feel your toes in your shoes. But we do it anyways. It’s this battle, this struggle that unifies us.” – Ryan Alcantara
