We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Town of West Hartford for the 1st Annual Town of West Hartford Kids Triathlon and Camp.

During the week of August 9 (Monday-Friday), campers will work on the skills necessary to do a triathlon, how to train for a race, and good eating and fitness habits.

As of August 2nd, we have decided to combine all of the kids together.  We think the bigger group will be a positive experience for all the campers!  If your child is between the ages of 6 through 13, they are eligible to participate. All campers will meet Monday-Friday from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m at Eisenhower Park in West Hartford.
