WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Track & Field Camp at UC Santa Barbara
33 Reviews
Coach Boothe did a great job customizing the intensity of the workouts without making my child feel singled out.
The Nike Cross Country Camp at UC Santa Cruz was the perfect balance of intense training and great fun. Coach Boothe was very inspiring and encouraged me to push myself to acheive my absolute best. I can't wait to come back next year and improve my skills even more. Thank you so much for everything!
I loved meeting other runner and running with them! It was really fun all the time but we still had rigorous workouts and fantastic clinics!
The highlight was when we went to wilder park and ran right near the beach and then went to the beach afterwards because this was such a relaxing run and a fun time at the beach. She loved learning about the different places they ran and what they learned about becoming a better runner all around.
I loved running nice trails with more experienced kids. The coaches were very friendly and knowledgeable.
This is a stellar camp, 10/10 would run again
Owen really liked his counselor and he said he learned a lot about stretching he needs to do for various runs.
Eli loved running on the trails in the forest and by the ocean with a friendly group of teens and energetic staff
Nike Running Camps at UC Santa Cruz supports experienced runners as well as newer runners who may be just getting introduced to the sport. Coach Boothe was very informative, the location was great, and there was lots of training. Friendly environment!
My daughter loved this camp. The trails were amazing and the staff was super helpful and friendly. She also made a lot of like-minded friends.

Focusing on the details that aren't usually gone over in practice
Awesome instruction on proper running technique to decrease my workload and great pointers on proper warm-up -- lots of great info to share with my coach at home.
My daughter really enjoyed getting to meet so many people that were positive and excited about running. The coaches and counselors were all super enthusiastic and my daughter really loved them all. The camp curriculum is fantastic.
A definite highlight was getting to know the Head Coach David Klech so well. He is enthusiastic, experienced and has a wealth of knowledge. He got to know Gaby so well as an individual, that he was able to recite her time goals for upcoming xcountry and track seasons.
Provided a complete running experience, including conditioning, racing strategy, and increasing love of the sport.
The camp was fun in a beautiful area to run. I enjoyed being with other runners, enjoyed free time with other campers. Loved the positive and inclusive attitude of the camp staff.

Would like more clinics like Nutrition, Recovery Session (i.e. rollers), Sports Psychology - getting over the psychological obstacle, Race Day Preparation. Stuff like that.
