“US Sports Camps and Nike Running Camps are thrilled to have Loomis Chaffee’s camp back in our line-up. They have always run a strong camp for us and it’s encouraging to know that their coaching staff is the same who will lead our campers to improvement this summer!” states Jan O’Connor, US Sports Camps Executive Vice President.
The Nike Track and Field Camp at the Loomis Chaffee School takes place this summer on June 19th-June 23rd, in Windsor, CT. Camp is open to boys and girls ages 10-18 who are motivated to work on their events during the off season. Day, extended day, and overnight attendance options are available. Campers receive valuable instruction on technique, goal setting, and nutrition. Video analysis will be used to improve form. Athletes can choose from all disciplines (except pole vault). Offered events: throw (shot put, hammer, discus, javelin), sprints, hurdles, middle distance, distance (800m up to the 2 mile), and jumps (high jump, long jump, triple jump).

In recent years, Purdy has led his team to winning seven prep school events at the Penn Relays.
