What are some of the benefits gained by attending camp?
ENJOY AN ADVENTURE WONDERLAND. Come to this beautiful part of the United States and enjoy the offerings of an all-inclusive training destination for endurance athletes.
TRAIN WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE AREA. We know how hard it can be to train in a new location. Trying to find the good local training grounds, sleeping in uncomfortable hotels and eating out everyday can be a huge stress on the body and mind. We want people to direct that energy toward training, recovering and enjoying their trip. Dreamchasers will provide staff, support, location and accommodations to help you obtain your training goals and love every minute of it.
GET IN THE ZONE. At camp, we will be all about living a healthy life style. Camp represents a chance to jump on an accelerated learning track. One of Lisa’s students who attended camp last summer observed that he felt he learned as much at camp as he would have in two years of running experience. Incidentally, this same student just took more than 2 hours of his 50 mile personal record.
BECOME OF A PART OF A TEAM. You will get to meet many of Lisa’s students. Many have become lifelong friends and virtual training partners. And it’s so great when we all meet up at races.
ACQUIRE TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW. Camp offers a chance to see and do the drills that are so often put in training programs. We also put race day and training nutrition to the test. We bring along the products we believe are best for endurance athletes and you will get to try them in the elements.
Camp will be led by Dreamchasers Outdoor Adventure Club co-founder: Lisa Smith-Batchen. Lisa will be assisted by Colleen Woods and we will be joined by numerous guests throughout the week, including Dr. Lisa Bliss.
