Week one of the Playmakers Youth Cross Country Camp is officially in the books! 🏕️🏃‍➡️

We had a great time exploring the trails of Fenner Nature Center, meeting lots of new friends, and learning more about the sport of running. It was so much fun that we're doing it again for the next two weeks!

If you know any 2nd-8th graders looking for a fun week-long running camp, there’s still plenty of time to sign up for sessions two (July 13-17th) and three (July 20-24th).
