NEW! Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA Tween Tri-Camp

Led by a USA Certified Tri-Coach, this program will focus on middle school children, ages 11-13, to help them develop a healthier lifestyle focusing on triathlon training and nutrition education. The summer camp runs for 4-one week sessions, Monday through Thursday from 9am – 1pm beginning July 12 and ending August 5th. Each week will focus on the sports that make up a triathlon (swim, bike, and run). Along with working out, campers will strength train and stretch with yoga and Pilates. Participants will learn about transitions, nutrition, preparation for race day, and try brick (combo) work-outs. Campers will prepare healthy snacks with a Registered Dietitian. Open to boys and girls in separate sessions. May sign up for one, two, three or four weeks. All campers can participate in a Mini-Tri at the end of week 4 on Friday, August 6th. Call the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA at 908.889.8880 for more information.
