The Appleseeds Track Camp is a four-day introduction into the world of Track & Field for all school aged kids (Kindergarten - Senior). Our camp sessions will be a mix of education, running, technique, and games. We break up into age groups so campers will learn alongside their peers. Campers will experience jumps, throws, hurdles, relays, distance, and sprints. We are very excited to be partnering with the University of Saint Francis Track and Field program for this camp! Our camp takes place at Turnstone's Plassman Athletic Center located at 3320 N Clinton St.

The Summer Running Club is an 8-week program designed to provide the groundwork for physical fitness as well as teamwork and sportsmanship. Our practices are a mixture of education, running, and games.
We have two sessions available at each practice. The first session is geared towards elementary aged kids (10 and under) and will be a more laid-back, game-based curriculum. The second session is a more structured, training-based program aimed at the middle and high school age groups (11+). The age breakdowns are just a guideline, you are welcome to pick the session that makes the most sense for your child.
