Give It a Tri - Youth Spring Triathlon Camp

For Ages 8-12
Has your child ever been curious about triathlon or multisport? Give It a Tri is a fun, supportive introduction to swimming, biking, and running—designed specifically for youth athletes ages 8–12.

Led by Camp Director Coach Kat Uchman, USA Triathlon Certified and Olympic Cycling Coach and Assistant Coach Karri LaGault, Assistant Prime Aquatics Coach and former D1 Swimmer, this camp gives young athletes the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of triathlon in a safe, encouraging environment. Athletes of all ability levels are welcome—no prior triathlon experience required.

Throughout the week, participants will practice all three disciplines and learn how to transition between them. The camp concludes with a Mock Triathlon on Thursday, where athletes will put their new skills together in a fun, confidence-building event. Family and friends are invited to attend and cheer them on during our race on Thursday.
