Camp Vision
This week-long camp was designed for the age-group athlete looking to boost their aerobic fitness through a quality volume training block. Every year someone logs more than 500 miles in 5 days, with the average mileage working out to be 350 miles.
- Training: We give you the route and planned support on the course. When you leave, how you ride, and when you arrive at the next destination is entirely up to you. Groups will certainly form during the camp, but your fitness, your goals will determine how you ride.
- Learning: Throughout the camp the coaches will lead discussions on a range of endurance training topics.
We feel this approach maximizes your training and your experience. Our intent is to maintain a social, high quality training environment where athletes committed to the fitness lifestyle can share their experiences, while training and learning alongside one another.
Cost: $999, includes:
- All Lodging and Accommodations (Participants preferring a single room may pay an additional $400)
- All training food and drink.
- Some supercool EN Camps schwag.
- All dinners from Welcome Dinner to Final Camp Wrap Up.
- 4.5 days of training on beautiful and challenging terrain.
- Support vehicle providing snacks and lunch along the route.

Camper Testimonials
"Great people, tremendous support and instruction from Kris and Patrick."
"My ideal was to have 4 days of training with no other constraints,
just train, eat, sleep. It worked out perfect. Great coming back after
a long day of training and not having to cook."
"Overall the camp was a great experience. It was great to have the
opportunity to train on the course, meet a bunch of interesting
triathletes as well as the fabulous meals courtesy of Kris! Information
on the details of the camp could have been disseminated a little
sooner, but that would be my only recommended improvement along with
advising everyone who ships their bike to use a hard bike case! Would
definitlely do it again, even if I wasn't racing Lake Placid."
"I tried to check all "awesome" above but it would only allow me to
click on one. All aspects were awesome.........thanks! Hope you are all
well."
"The accommodations and group meals were excellent. Communications were
a bit slow, but that didn't bother me. Liked the new format this year,
allowing for sleep and relaxation. Overall an incredible value."
