Ride and Run Campers will stay together in HP’s lakeside cabins and enjoy fresh, yummy meals in the dining hall. A focus on goal setting and team building will send girls into the summer with a boost of confidence, new friendships, and enthusiasm for staying active.
This camp is a collaboration between the Craftsbury Outdoor Center running program, Little Bellas (Mentoring on Mountain Bikes), and Hosmer Point Camp; combining the best of running and mountain biking instruction tailored to young women, and summer camp fun.
When this camp was introduced in 2022, everyone involved was so impressed with how much confidence was gained and how many positive relationships were formed in just a few days! This is a short camp that can make a big difference in the lives of participants. We can’t wait to do it again in 2024!
Our small price increase for 2024 covers higher food service costs.
Spots fill quickly! - registration opens January 15 at 9:00 AM.
