NIKE TRACK & FIELD CAMP FAQ
For general questions about our Track & Field camps please see our FAQ page.
Facility
The track underwent a full replacement in 2026. The project included the installation of a new base, followed by a completely new track surface over the asphalt base.
Conveniently located midway between Boston and New York City in Windsor, Connecticut, the Loomis Chaffee School is one of the most picturesque independent secondary schools in all of New England. Campers train on campus at the new eight-lane track facility and reside in the school dormitories along with the Loomis Chaffee coaching staff.
The facility is designed for teaching: boasting three shot circles, a discus circle, four separate jumping pits, and separate high jump areas. The facility was also recently fitted with lights, enabling us to conduct evening training sessions.
