2021 Chargers Track & Field Camp

At Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, we provide an educational and inspirational experience for athletes ages 12-18.

Each camper receives state-of-the-art training. Our knowledgeable staff uses a combination of drills, demonstrations and training theory to enhance performance. Flexibility and weight training sessions are part of the daily program, providing a comprehensive package of the latest, most successful training methods. Campers choose from all disciplines: throws (shot put,hammer, discus, javelin), sprints, hurdles, middle distance (including steeplechase), and jumps (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault). Campers leave with a renewed enthusiasm for their event, with a plan for their future!

Camp is limited to 100 overnight participants at this time.  Once the cap is reached, interested overnight campers may register to the wait list.  A member of the coaching staff will be in contact with you if a spot opens. 

There is no cap on the number of day campers at this time. 

In an enhanced effort to offer a high level camp and maintain the health of everyone involved, we will implement numerous health and sanitary practices.
