Camp Description:
We are excited to offer an introductory biathlon camp for runners! Running biathlon is sport for those who thrive on challenge! It combines two completely different disciplines: the heart-pounding exertion of running and the zen-like focus of precision shooting.

This camp is designed for runners who have little or no prior shooting experience and are open to trying something new (including those who joined us last year and are looking to expand their skills.) You’ll learn from Craftsbury’s experienced biathletes and coaches. We’ll teach you rifle safety, provide all the necessary equipment for biathlon shooting, instruct you in proper shooting techniques and give you opportunities to test your new skills including a fun, novice biathlon race. Running Biathlon for Beginners will also include all your favorite elements of a Craftsbury running camp such as running-specific coaching, endless gravel roads, amazing community, dips in Great Hosmer, and of course incredible food from our renowned dining hall.

Camp Description:
This four-day intensive retreat is all about celebrating your running journey through a holistic framework. Our days together will include exercises of the body and mind to build confidence and to give you the skills to realize your running dreams. No matter how many times you’ve laced up, all are welcome. Any age, any pace, any dream, any woman, any she/they are welcome.

Your Runner’s Body: Our bodies are constantly changing. As runners, we recognize the importance of understanding the relationships of effort, time, nutrition, strength, injury and more. Workshops will focus on the unique strengths and evolution of the female runner’s body. We’ll discuss the impact of workouts, stress, and age on our bodies, and how to address these complexities in a sustainable way. Our top priority will be on meeting our body where it is and strengthening from there.  

Your Runner’s Mindset: What does it take to lace up when it’s too hot, too cold, or you just don’t feel like it? It takes a runner’s mindset. Harnessing the positive power of the runner’s mindset deserves equal attention as the runner’s body. We’ll dig into the anatomy of both an opened and closed mindset, and how this influences our routine and self-perception. Together we’ll engage in reflection exercises, identify mental barriers, and develop strategies to help you turn your mind into an ally. 

Your Runner’s Dream: Do you remember why you started to run? Do you crave the reset of a radical change in your running life? Celebrating each woman, their small victories, and their dreams will be at the forefront of the retreat. We’ll guide you through activities to help you re-assess, discover and articulate your runner’s dream. You will leave the weekend equipped with the tools to integrate this intention, growth, and vision into you running life at home.  

“As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.” ―Joan Benoit Samuelson

Come recharge your batteries running the dirt roads of Craftsbury and join us as we explore running through the lens of both environmental and physical sustainability. Our guiding questions will be:

How do we empower runners to make a positive difference in the environmental crisis?

How do we run in a way that maximizes our health over our entire lifespan?

We’ll learn about larger industries that support athletic pursuits such as textile manufacturing, race event hosting and food production. Together we’ll brainstorm ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

We’ll also focus on how sustainability applies to our own bodies and discuss how fueling, injury prevention, and training load all factor in. Running when done right is an incredible tool for promoting physical, emotional and mental health. Our goal is for you to still enjoy running sustainably when you are 90.

Camp Description:

Treadmills have their place. Gym work has its time. But winter can get claustrophobic indoors. Add some skis, snowshoes or winter run gear? You'll move thru the winter landscape noiselessly, another animal exploring under its own power. During your four days at Craftsbury, you'll unlock tactics to embrace winter across a variety of disciplines: daily runs, ski clinics, snowshoeing on our more than 100k of groomed trails trails, plus another 20k of singletrack trails throughout our extensive trail network - all right out the door. Once you've learned to winter, you'll reclaim your freedom to enjoy trails and woods that you haven't visited since last summer. More details to come, but put this weekend of fun, challenging cross-training and developing new skills on your calendar.
