what is armory camp?
Our Track & Field Camp connects high school track & field athletes with professional athletes & coaches. A day-long session features some of the finest athletes and best coaching minds in the sport. The day is split into two sessions: morning and afternoon. Participants can sign up for one session, or both. This double-session option allows them to register for more than one speciality (i.e., hurdles and throws) and work with multiple coaches if desired. The event takes place at the historic Armory in New York City, home to the Nike Track & Field Center — a.k.a. “The Fastest Track in the World", just one floor above the National Track & Field Hall of Fame.
In addition to featuring Olympians and global medalists, Armory Camp is a unique opportunity for high school student-athletes to work directly with collegiate coaches. This is a great way to increase one’s knowledge of the sport and prepare for the transition to the next level!
Our Fall Camp will take place on Sunday, November 16th 2025. Sign up HERE
