Johnston Community Education

This camp is for all boys in grades 6-12 interested in being a part of the Johnston Cross Country program. Johnston Boy’s XC has a reputation for being one of the largest programs in the country, with a culture of excellence in the classroom and community. We have qualified for the State Meet 10 years in a row and have finished in the top-4 five times during that period. This camp will kick off summer training by learning the basic principles of running, lifting, speed work, and a healthy lifestyle. There will also be several team-building activities and competitions. We encourage Middle School athletes that are interested to also join this camp, as Johnston has a 7th/8th grade XC team. All participating athletes will be able to train with the team for the remainder of the summer if they so choose. Our high school athletes and coaches will serve as leaders for this camp.
