Invitation 2018

The idea of this training-camp is to have a well planned, high standard training mixed with an fantastic experience together with nice people in the fantastic surroundings of Lipica (SLO) and the Croatian Island Cres.

WHY?
For the 3rd time and with a two years break we want to spend a fun, good organised trainingcamp with fun people. (For experiences from the previous years see the main blog page)

Generally it works like that: 
You organise travel (flight/train/car there and rental car) - we organise everything else!


WHAT?

We want to organise an o-camp that not only gives you possibilities of training, but a concrete schedule with thought-through sessions that make sense. Besides o-trainings there will be running sessions, strength trainings and mental trainings offered by orienteers with lots of international experience and education in coaching orienteering.  
The trainings have a high standard - with good navigation goals (compass, prospective orienteering...) and we will also do good technical sprint trainings in tricky old towns (preparation European Champs 2018!). 

FOR WHO?

We want to create an opportunity for runners with ambition to train in early spring in warmer climate in central Europe. If you have been looking for a high standard organization in a training camp or - in another case - are a not so ambitious runner who wants to experience this level of organization, you come to the right place. Young and old are welcome!

WHEN?

The Kamp Krk is taking place from 24th March to 2nd of April 2018. The first part of the camp will take place around Lipica (SLO) with accomodation in Miramare (ITA) until 28th of March and the second part of the camp will take place on the island Cres (CRO). On the last 4 days until the 2nd of April we will take part in the Easter4 competition on Cres.
