Trail Running Camp - What's that?

Yes, and so much more. Created in 2008, ARE Event Productions' (Adults Only) Trail Running Camp is a weekend all about YOU! While running is the foundation, there are limitless opportunities at camp. We offer classes in yoga, core strength, balance and drills, and other activities. Dippikill Pond is a popular spot at camp for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. We have seminars on such topics as stretching and nutrition, and have even offered Arts and Crafts, granola ball making (yes, a nutritious, high-energy snack), and dance classes!

Each night at camp offers something special, from live music to S'mores by a fire and, of course, our well-known Talent Show that is always a highlight for many.

What are the accommodations?

Our camp is held at the Dippikill Wilderness Retreat in Warrensburg, NY (~70 miles north of Albany). The 1,000 acre retreat has ten cabins of varying sizes and amenities. All cabins include beds but you need to bring your own bedding. Some of the cabins are more luxurious, offering electricity and full kitchens. Others are a bit more rustic, located farther into the woods and without electricity. Accommodations are reserved on a first-come/first-serve basis, so the sooner you register, the better chance of getting what is ideal for you.

Our cabins offer bunk rooms, lofts, and private rooms. Private rooms typically can accommodate two or three individuals. For large groups attending camp, contact us early as we often get groups looking to reserve entire cabins.

What's a typical camper?

Campers typically range in age from mid 20s to mid 70s, of various running abilities. The "most common" camper is a woman between 30 and 55 who averages around 10.5 minutes per mile, but yes, each year our demographics represent a truly diverse group who are joined, above all else, not by the speed at which they run, but their shared love for being active. Walkers are welcome.

In addition, we typically have a few campers each year who are non-runners, attending to enjoy the entire atmosphere and ample non-running activities. While you certainly will maximize your experience by being able to attend the runs, if you're simply looking for a weekend away with varying types of exercise opportunities - or even just to relax - this is a superb opportunity to do so.
