Central College Track Camps
Camp Details

Lodging
Residential campers stay in air-conditioned townhouses on the Central campus. Meals are provided in the Central Market, the college’s state-of-the-art dining facility.

Facilities
Central has some of the finest track and field/cross country facilities in the region:
• Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium features a new 400-meter, eight-lane outdoor track with a BSS 1000 polyurethane track. It features wider turns and dual runways for jumping events.
• New cages and rings for the weight events have also been added. The facility has been the site of seven Iowa Conference meets.
• Central’s cross country course, new in 2004, is designed to accommodate 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 and 8,000-meter races. It is also an ideal training surface for daily runs and race-specific workouts.
• A new Mondotrack six-lane, 200-meter indoor track was installed in H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse in 2009. It’s the same surface used for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

 What to Bring
Each athlete should bring comfortable workout attire.
T-shirts, shorts, athletic socks and good training shoes are highly recommended. Overnight campers should also bring toiletries, pillow, bedding, alarm clock and shower supplies.
Lunch and lodging will be provided.
