Runners from all over the world attend, to experience the life of a Stanford student-athlete.
Camp Director and Stanford’s Franklin P Johnson Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark oversees both track and field and cross-country programs. Clark says, “We are so excited to welcome our camp athletes to The Farm this coming summer. It is our first summer on campus and we have a lot of great things in store. This is an exciting time for us, we’re anticipating a great experience!”
The athletes train on the famed Cobb Track & Angell Field, home to many national and international competitions. Cross country runners take advantage of the blue skies, gorgeous hilly trails surrounding this amazing campus. Campers stay in the dorms on campus, eat in the Stanford dining. Track and field athletes can choose from all disciplines: throw (shot put, hammer, discus, javelin) sprints, hurdles, middle distance (including steeplechase), and jumps (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault). XC runners are placed in small compatible groups based speed, fitness and ability. Each running group is assigned an experienced counselor, for specialized training and individual attention. Instruction is given by Stanford coaches & staff. The camp is coed, overnight and day campers, ages 12-18.
