Athletics Camp 2016

Posted : 21-Jul-2016 FAVOURITE

Fifteen girls travelled to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra for the Ravenswood Athletics Camp. Despite the camp being only three days long, the days were packed and the girls were able to learn a lot, improve in their training and have a whole lot of fun.

Some of the experiences the girls had were a guided tour of the AIS facility, a talk by Sophie Stanwell (fourth place at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Heptathlon), lectures by the leading experts on recovery, nutrition and strength/conditioning, the 15˚C plunge pool (and the spa) as well as the world-class training facilities for strength and conditioning and athletics. There were also plenty of fun activities including Masterchef, a mascot shop and ultimate ping pong. We were also lucky enough that it snowed throughout our final day!

Overall the camp was much enjoyed by all and the girls are better set to excel in their future athletic endeavours.
