jump rope, medicine ball
drills, beach sprints, swimming, rope climbing, ladder
running, dragging
logs, punching a speed bag, and splitting wood with an axe.
Coaches will teach athletes a series of 15 warm-up drills designed to improve athletic power, explosiveness, and speed.
Recreational activities that enhance strength & conditioning, such as Tug-of-War, dodgeball, and beach volleyball, will be included in the training.
Every day will also include optional periods when campers can elect to swim, kayak, canoe, fish, play wiffle ball, or enjoy other summer activities by a lake in Maine.

Other recovery periods during the day will include card games and board games,
and exclude cell phones, texting, and computers. Each evening will conclude with
