Activities
Sessions

In each of our summer programs, students will:

• Train in the temperate high altitude of Iten, Kenya or Pisac, Peru
• Run, swim, and work out daily with your peers
• Help the community by teaching at local schools
• Explore Kenya's Great Rift Valley, and experience the excitement of seeing Africa's wildlife on safari.
• Explore the beauty of the Andes and Inca culture through day trips and
a multi day hike, ending at the incomparable Machu Picchu

Student athletes stay two or three to a room at well equipped training centers. Most days students will run (in small groups depending on their speed and distance requirements), swim in the pools on location, or work out in the gym once or twice a day. Past students have enjoyed general training as they prepare for high school sports including: cross country, soccer, swimming, field hockey, football and others.

Student abilities range from just trying to stay in shape to training for national caliber competition but all share an interest in training daily during a summer adventure. Group leaders have coaching experience to assist with daily workout planning.

Many past participants say that their Strive Trips adventures have changed their lives. Almost all past participants have used their Strive experiences as the basis for college essays and other writing assignments and indicate that college coaches are intrigued. Friendships developed during our trips often continue well beyond the summer, and into the college years!
