No experience needed, just a willingness to move, learn, and have fun!


General Information - Kitsap Running Camp

Event Details

Open to kids entering kindergarten through 5th grade, this four-week camp (June 30–July 25) meets twice a week for one-hour sessions designed to help young runners build confidence, improve their form and pacing, and find joy in movement.

At Kitsap Running Camp, we treat running like swimming or biking: a skill that can be taught, practiced, and refined. Whether your child is brand new to running or already experienced, they’ll come away with tools, habits, and a mindset that support lifelong health and movement.

Each session combines focused instruction with fun games and group-based activities. Campers will learn about running mechanics, mindset, endurance, and body awareness in a playful, encouraging environment.

Camp includes:
  • Expert-led running lessons
  • Daily snacks
  • A camp t-shirt
  • An end-of-camp medal
  • A discount to the Whale of a Run 1-mile race in Silverdale

Led by: Crystal Whittier, ISSA Certified Running Coach, Race Director, and experienced youth coach, with local high school runners serving as Jr. Coaches.

Note: Crystal is First Aid/CPR certified and background-checked through her work in the school district. Kids are never left unsupervised.

To start, we are opening just one session. If registration numbers are high, additional sessions will be added. Families will be informed of these new sessions and given the opportunity to switch sessions, if desired.
