Five-Star is the best camp ever! It should be two weeks long! It is the highlight of my summer every year!
-
This was the best week of my entire summer! I'm not the fastest distance runner, but after one week I felt a lot stronger and made so many friends along the way. All of the activities were so much fun and I really appreciated how dedicated everyone involved at Five Star was. I can't wait for next year!
-
Five-Star was an amazing experience. I went for my second year and it was one of the highlights of my summer. Not only does Five-Star offer rigorous training and help getting ready for the upcoming season, but it also treats me like family and wants to see me succeed. Thanks Five-Star!

She loved the camp, the surroundings, making new friends, learning more about the sport she loves.. she came home with a greater passion for running.
-
Provides an opportunity for girls to come together around a common enjoyment for the sport of running. Brings together guest speakers and coaches to share their knowledge.
-
Camp was such a great experience. I became friends with people I see myself keeping in touch with for years to come while also working hard and pushing myself to limits both physically and mentally.
-
This was my daughter's first 5 Star experience and she LOVED it! She has had a jam-packed summer and yet she said this was the best week of her summer by far! Thanks for a great experience. She and her teammates will definitely return!
-
My time at Five Star was, for lack of a better term, AMAZING. The staff was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They strive to make every camper feel at home, and feel welcome. All coaches and counselors were willing, and eager to answer all of my questions. I can not wait to go to camp next year!
-
Best week of my summer, if you are on the fence I recommend signing up. 5 star is like a family to all of its campers, regardless if you are fast, slow, a 7 year camper or a first year!
-
This camp made me love running even more than I previously did.
-
Five Star Cross Country camp is a camp experience I will never forget. Every moment of the camp was filled with excitement. The speakers who joined us at the camp were inspirational. And the different training tips and techniques were very helpful during the following cross country season.
-
I would definitely recommend 5 star running camp to any track or cross country enthusiast. The camp has a great atmosphere to it, and promotes each camper to be the best he or she can be, as a runner and as a person. The counselors are extremely friendly, supportive, and helpful. The activities and events are always fun and exciting, and the runs really push you to your limit. Being at five star was the highlight of my summer, and I can't wait to come back next year!
-
The entire camp experience was great from the food,lodging, instructors, the running trips, guest speakers, just everything was positive.
-
Nike running camps make running a fun experience while also making the runs just intense enough. Also you run at some very nice and scenic places. Over the time you are there you really bond with the other campers even if you didn't know them before the camp. I really enjoyed my experience at this camp and I guarantee you will too.
-
They teach you all the necessary tools you need for running, as well as give you confidence. I managed to perform extremely well, in fact, even better than I could possibly imagine. I believe I will have a great running career, thanks to Nike.
-
My son had a great experience at this camp. He came home feeling confident for the cross country season to begin. He felt he learned many skills and the vibe of the camp was very open to learning and getting the kids to really push themselves to the next level.
-
They help create a very welcoming feeling at camp. I also love how they balance running and other activities so campers don't feel burned out.
-
Five-Star Cross Country Camp was one of the best things I have ever done. The staff, other campers, and the running were all great! Next year I hope to go back as a counselor and have another great time.
-
My daughter was challenged in her running and even though she was anxious about being there, the staff made her feel comfortable.
-
The perfect mix of hard work and fun activities in a motivating and inspirational environment. Being surrounded by 200+ campers and counselors whose passion was running made me appreciate the sport and community more. Besides the helpful seminars and educational talks, the counselors were the best resources of information. Five Star made me excited to start the season with a positive attitude and a stronger drive than ever before.
-
The title Five Star Cross Country Camp really speaks for itself!!!
-
Nike Running Camp was them most amazing week of my year! Everyone at camp is so nice, and they care about your running, so don't come here expecting run a little and then go hang out in the cabins, because you have morning runs and afternoon runs. My personal favorite run was the mountain run where you run up a mountain to a lake where the water is so clear, you can see right through to the bottom. I loved camp so much, and there is no way that I'm not coming back next year, so cabin 21 here I come!!
-
My favorite things about camp were the coaches, the running trails, making new friends, and the guest speakers. I really learned a lot from the coaches. I am a new runner, and they really taught me a lot upfront. I also found the guest speakers to be very inspirational on running and overall life.
-
My week at camp is one of the best vacations that I have ever had. Even if you are not the fastest runner, or even if you are not planning to run in college or the Olympics, it is a great camp. The staff is AMAZING, and they try to help and make you feel welcome. Overall, the camp was very fun, and really helpful.
-
I am not usually a parent who sends their child readily to a sleep away situation but the experience here is well worth every penny! Students get conditioning and exercise but more importantly through guest speakers they also get life lessons on losing, diet, drug abuse, never giving up and many more topics! I highly recommend this camp.
-
Five star X-C is an excellent running experience for the serious runner or just someone who enjoys the outdoors. Every day there are quality meals and rigorous workouts depending on your level of skill. At night there are fun games and extremely motivational speakers. You will never want to leave. I know I will come back year after year.
-
After my first week at camp, I could not wait until I got to go back. I've highly enjoyed both times I've been to camp and I intend to continue going for the next several years. I always have a lot of fun running and during the other activities, and I've made amazing friends during my time here.
-
Nike Running Camp did a great job at pushing its runners to their limits while enjoying each others company and engaging in other fun activities. The camp's staff were the best counselors EVER!
-
Not only do Nike Running Camps teach runners like myself how to train properly, they also teach us about proper nutrition, famous runners around the world, and how to keep healthy during the sport. Overall, Nike Running Camps are very well rounded.
-
If you want to get motivated for the season, you've come to the right place! This camp will give you everything you need physically and mentally to have the best season of your life!
-
Motivated me to do more and become better, and the social aspect was excellent, meeting new people.
-
Loved the training and teaching proper technique correctly and upfront as I am a new runner. Loved the guest speakers...VERY inspirational! Thank you. This was my first running camp experience, and I look forward to returning next summer 2014.
-
5 Star XC Camp was the best experience I have ever encountered! This was my second year at camp and I wasn't sure if it was going to be as magnificent as my first year’s experience. It was, without a doubt the best camp experience of my life!!! I am 5 STAR!
-
Five Star is the epitome of what a running camp should be. They challenge you and help you strive to do your best. I wouldn't think of going to any other camp for running. I can't wait until next year.

I really enjoyed how wonderful the coaches and counselors were. The hills really made my legs stronger. They gave me plenty of time to run the distance I wanted. Also they taught the proper form of dynamic exercises which I had no idea I was doing wrong. Also the scavenger hunt was a lot of fun. It was a great experience.
-
My daughter has attended for 2 years. She loves meeting the guest speakers and running in the Shawangunk Mnts with her friends.
-
The games and activity groups set it apart from all other running camps.
-
The fun non-running experiences were great, but the exposure to different training methods and the important of stretching and recovery runs was critical for our son.
-
My son really enjoyed himself at camp. This was the first time he's done an overnight camp, which I was initially nervous about, but he said the staff was great and he met some new friends. He also felt like the training he received helped him get in shape. We are all really pleased with this camp.
-
Just the overall professionalism of the camp and how it impacts the way my daughter views Cross Country and the way she now prepares for the season.
-
Aiden really enjoyed the runs, meeting new people, the counselors and having exposure to new experiences running.
-
My son was able to receive feedback and instruct on his running skills.
-
Great blend of running and other activities. Good tutorials of various aerobic and anaerobic runs, tempo runs, Fartlek
-
Friendliness of entire staff and other youths who attended. Improvement in running skills after completion.
-
Seeing the smile on my sons face and hearing about the life long experiences he will never forget!
-
Being with teammates in the same cabin. Bonding as a team was a huge plus!
-
Noah said the counselors were great-amazing instruction!!
-
The overall experience, from the training to social aspects, were fun. To many fun things to choose just one highlight.

Our son was thrilled to meet and learn from Dick Beardsley. Being in the presence of running royalty really had a powerful impact on him. He also enjoyed the group runs and the camaraderie and encouragement the runners gave one another, and took the feedback from the more experienced runners to heart and improved tremendously because of it.

I loved the run at Minnewaska Lake, group run by the canal, watching and performing skits with our activities groups, going to the lake, and listening to all the guest speakers. Overall I had a great time at camp. I had lots of fun with my running group as well as my activities group. I met lots of new people from all different places. There was a nice balance between the amount of running we did & all the activities we did, which I really enjoyed. I am definitely going to try and come back next year!!

Five Star was the highlight of my summer. Everything at camp was fun, from the trail runs to the games at night. The counselors were so friendly and very knowledgeable about running.
-
Five Star provided me with all the mechanics necessary to excel as a runner: speakers came daily to talk about various subjects such as personal experience, nutrition, and the life of a runner; instructors provided lessons on speed and hills; and activities created a community known as Five Star. I went in a racer and came out a competitor.
-
Thank you sooo much for the amazing camp experience! It was great to be surrounded by people who loved the sport as much as myself. Thanks again and I hope to see everyone next year!
-
I really believe that this camp helped me grow as a cross country runner. My passion, already quite high, greatly increased. I have been recommending this camp to all my fellow runners. Thank you for a great experience, and I will never forget.
-
I am 13 and run track and XC for my middle school and have competed in several Junior Olympic Nationals. This was my first time at the five star camp so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was amazing! I wish they had it more than once a year or even longer. The runs were intense but so much fun-and I got in even better shape. I learned a lot and made friends. I will definitely be going next year. Thanks!

The smaller running groups allowed more individualized instruction and critique of the runners. Brianna felt this benefited her greatly. She also enjoys meeting other girls from all over the tri-state area and seeing some of them at her meets during the season.

-
The running instruction is solid, but not intense. The coaches gave practical suggestions for improvement that were easy to implement. Our runner was well-grouped so that she was challenged but not discouraged. Although its purpose is running, there is adequate downtime and activities to meet the camp part of the experience.
-
The pick up at the end of the week was a little chaotic, having to collect my things from a cabin that was different from where I was left (was confusing for my parents to know whether they had all of my hints that appeared to have been just dumped on the porch of another cabin) and where I spent the week. Employees weren't even sure where my stuff was.
