Children's Run/Walk Program

Girl runningInterested in starting a Run/Walk program for children at your school? The following two templates provide a good overview of elementary school programs that have been very effective in our area. The cost is very low, the excitement and enthusiasm of the children involved is very high, and the ability to instill a true love for regular exercise is priceless. Top that off with a healthier child and a gratifying experience for the Club's coaches and volunteers and its a winner all the way around.

Strider Youth Running Camp Coming This Summer!

If you haven’t heard yet, the Strider’s have been busy planning a summer running camp for youth in 7th through 12th grades. The dates for the camp are June 9th through the 13th, and will run from 8am to noon each day at Ridgeview High School. The purpose of this camp is to develop a love of running for kids who are interested. We will be accepting youth of all ability levels, whether a beginner or experienced runner. We will have ability group runs daily in a safe environment with group leaders. We plan to provide some fun classes where they can learn the basics of running safely, as well as how to improve and get faster if they desire. We’ll also provide a daily snack which will include some information on how to eat more healthfully. The cost of the camp will be $30, and includes a Strider membership, Strider T-shirt, Strider logo water bottle, and a special running camp T-shirt.

If all this sounds like something you’d like to be involved with, then we need you! The camp will be run completely by volunteers, and there will be lots of jobs to do. If you want to volunteer or just get more information, contact Vicky Connell, the Camp Director at 276-0193.
