This year, participants in the Algonquin Outdoor Track team’s annual Track & Field Camp for kids will get to make use of the new GonkPlex facilities at the high school.
Last year, with the renovations underway, the camp was temporarily shifted to Trottier Middle School, and enrollment was limited to fewer grades. This year, registration will be limited to the first 100 campers signed up, but it will again allow for grades K-8 to take part.
As with most years, the camp will be held in the evenings overlapping the last scheduled week of NSBORO school.* The program will run from 5:00 – 7:45 pm, Monday, June 10th – Friday the 14th.
The coach and student run camp is an ARHS Track team fundraiser. This year, the fee is $175 per child (with discounts for siblings and a $450 family max).
The deadline for registration is June 3rd, but it could fill up in advance.
Campers, split by grades, will take part in throwing, jumping, running and hurdling activities each day.
On the final evening, they’ll compete in a track meet with an awards ceremony and demonstration by high school athletes.

*No school will be held that Monday, June 19th due to the state holiday (Juneteenth). Barring an unexpected cancellation, Thursday, June 22nd will be the final day of NSBORO schools (with an early release).
