  • I left camp with my heart nearly exploding with gratitude and love for all of the strong individuals I met. Not only have I expanded my support group, I came out of this experience with more confidence, education, and inspiration than I could have imagined. I can’t wait to come back to camp again!

  • My week long participation in the Active Altitude intermediate women’s running camp was one of the best events in my life where I felt affirmatively supported, improved my running form, ate like a queen to fuel properly, enjoyed leisurely time with the coaches and athletes, and I made life long friends with 7 other running goddesses!

  • The Active at Altitude intermediate ladies run camp was a fabulous week of trail running in the Rockies and useful workshops, based around the Lydiard run coaching method. It was a fun group with lots of support and laughter.

    Melanie, France
  • To say that this camp was life-changing might seem hyperbolic but it really was. I learned so much about strength and endurance, what I should be doing to build it, and how to prevent injuries, which will really change my life. I had several epiphany moments in the camp and can’t wait to create a new holistic training plan for running and wellness.

    Robin, MD
  • A camp which helps you achieve an efficient running form – all done with support and kindness and encouragement!

    Sandee, Kansas
  • Terry and Jacqueline identified specific aspects of my running form that I could work on early on in the camp, which allowed me to make significant progress in just a week!
    The supportive atmosphere created by this diverse group of women allowed everyone to take on challenges and try new things

    Margo, Tucson, AZ
  • I learned so much that week of camp: The proper way to do speed drills on the track, how to run tempo runs, hill sprints, and proper strengthening exercises (my favorite activity was running in water). I learned about goal setting and doing positive imagery exercises before runs. All of these lessons made me a stronger runner physically and mentally. But the biggest surprise for me that week was a newfound excitement and energy for running. For many years I was tied to a training schedule, and the only thing I focused on was completing my weekly mileage. Although I love building up mileage and seeing my fitness improve, I was tired of that routine and knew I needed to change my methods.
    Your camp, your knowledge and positive attitude was just what I needed to invigorate my body and soul. I left camp feeling refreshed, inspired, empowered and energized. Terry, your outlook on life, the love you have for the sport, the knowledge you shared, and the positive way you encouraged all of us, was transforming. Learning from you in breathtaking Estes Park and getting to know the other six amazingly strong women that week exceeded my expectations

  • Terry & Jacqui are amazing coaches. The week was an incredible blend of training, learning about running, making friendships, and personal breakthroughs. Thank you Jacqui & Terry for helping me take my running to the next level

  • This camp has been a fun-with-a-purpose experience. It has challenged me physically & mentally and peeled back some layers to get me in touch with my deeper self. It is the whole experience – physical, mental, emotional, social. Thank you Terry & Jacqueline

  • This camp is so much more than running & training at altitude. It is a safe, happy, comfortable space that allows personal reflection & group encouragement. Active at Altitude is beyond running!

2021 marks the 13th year of our series of running and conditioning camps created specifically for adult women. These camps are an incredible opportunity to train and run in one of the best training locations at altitude in the United States, Estes Park, Colorado. Not only do you get to benefit from training and staying at the perfect ‘sweetspot’  that research suggests is the best for maximizing the physiological altitude, you also learn from inspiring and experienced women athletes and expert coaches.

Our camps are perfect for you whether you are an experienced runner and need to rekindle your enthusiasm for running, want to take your running to the next level, or if you are looking to train for your first 10K, half marathon, marathon or beyond – we give you the tools and inspiration you are looking for, and more! Our camps foster long-lasting, healthy lifestyles out of positive thinking, self-acceptance, and joy, inspiring you on every level, physically, mentally, and spiritually. These are extremely popular life changing opportunities, all our women’s running camps sold out in 2020, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment!

if you’re not sure which camp is right for you, we encourage you to reach out and connect with us, and we can offer you our expert guidance for which camp we think will match with your goals, status, and experience. Use this link to connect with us.
