There are plenty of summer camps to choose, but for the past few years Matt Bingle’s Minnesota Track & Field Camp has grown in popularity. Today, Bingle and his coaching staff that includes a former U.S. Olympian in throws coach Lynne Anderson and a current U.S. Olympian in triple jumper Shani Marks, kicked off a week of camp for girls and boys from fourth grade through high school at the Bierman Track Stadium.
“Our camp is designed to teach the fundamentals of the track & field events,” said Bingle, whose Golden Gophers have captured Big Ten team titles in each of the last three seasons. “The emphasis is to provide each camper with a great fun-filled week of learning. We teach skills and techniques that will help the campers improve and better themselves as a athlete both on and off the track.”
Campers from grades 7-12 have the choice of being a resident camper or a day camper. These campers will enjoy a week of two instructional workout sessions a day, educational and motivational talks and nightly entertainment activities. Youth campers from grades 4-6 spend each morning learning the basics of the many track & field events.
