What We Do!
Running
routes stretching over sections of paved, gravel, and dirt roads; counselors and coaches run in each group to provide support on the go. there are cross training opportunities as well.
worship
Worship featuring great bands from the area start off the evening sessions as our speakers share stories of their faith, trials, and success. afterwards, campers meet with their coaches or counselors to review the day.
camping
two separate camping areas for campers to get some out-of-the-house bonding time with teammates and new friends. we have bunks for coaches staying in the a/c.
raft trip
for many, the raft trip is the best part of the week. with each raft captained by a counselor or coach, campers enjoy a nice float down missouri’s elk river.
games
there is a serious week-long competition between campers split into eight teams. the “black knights” had a ten year streak and won again in 2019, who will win this year?
make friends
swmo running camp is often said to be the best week of the summer if not the year. bond with teammates, grow as a person and runner, make new friends, and create memories for a lifetime.
