Active at Altitude hosts women’s running camps during the Summer at three levels depending on pace level - Beginner full and compact camps in June; Advanced camp in July, and Intermediate full and compact camps in August. Co-ed trail running camps are in May and September! You can see details on pace requirements for each level on their website.

They were successful in holding several of their camps in a modified format for Summer 2020 to ensure camper and staff safety, and will expand those offerings again for 2021. Active at Altitude created a specific COVID protocol for their 2020 camps - if you have any questions regarding their camps and COVID-19, please feel free to contact them.

Check out one of the many testimonials from one of the 2020 campers: "I am forever grateful for the support and encouragement I received from everyone at this camp. I left with much more confidence then I had when I arrived as well as so much knowledge and motivation. I made some forever friends with this incredible group and can't wait for next time! Absolutely the most amazing experience!" Mary, from FL
