WHY SUMMER QUEST CAMPS?

Welcome to our 45th year of offering summer programs to the community. With over 170 camps, starting in June and extending through the end of August, we are sure to provide the fun and engaging camp experience you and your child are seeking. Our beautiful campuses provide an ideal setting for your child to be comfortable, while also pushing the boundaries of their abilities. Over our 40 years, our offerings have changed with the needs of our community; however, our emphasis on quality and offering the best possible summer camp experience has remained unchanged.

• Collegiate Summer Quest offers over 175 different programs for pre-schoolers through adults. For the past 13 years, over 50% of Summer Quest campers have been non-Collegiate students.

MANY CAMPS FILL TO THEIR MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT. REGISTER EARLY TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE. The Summer Quest Office is located in Luck Hall, on the Lower School Campus.

Summer Quest office hours are 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday.

Collegiate School will be closed on Tuesday, July 4.

Start with a phrase and end with performing an entire play.

Students will have fun with the language, learn some facts about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan era, get to know the characters, and learn a bit about the Bard. The play utilized in this camp is Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado About Nothing; arguing couples, goofy policeman, scheming bad guys and more and it all turns out well in the end.

Within the process of learning and rehearsing an abbreviated Shakespeare play, students will work on personal and interpersonal skills including focus, compassion, imagination, patience, problem solving and collaboration. They will also work on basic dramatic skills such as enunciation, focus, cooperation, vocal projection, language skills and acting. Finally, it gives students a leg up for deeper immersion into Shakespeare in the future!

Laura Matthews, Sarah Dunn Rising Kindergartners June 19 – 30 • 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. $750 This camp is two weeks in length.

• Bring a healthy snack and filled water bottle from home each day.

• Lunch will be provided.

• Campers will need to bring a towel for rest time.

Who wants to get ready for school? This camp has been developed to provide a taste of what Kindergarten will feel like for your child, with a focus on introducing basic reading and math skills.

We will use familiar nursery rhymes and fairy tales to introduce the children to many important reading skills, such as identifying familiar letters and sounds, looking at pictures for clues, tracking from left to right, pointing to text and matching our voices to the words we read.

Familiar rhymes and stories will help develop your child’s confidence and eagerness to “have a go” at reading!

The math content of our camp is based on the book Let’s Play Cards: Games and Activities for Ages 3-100 by Nicola Byford and Frances Coleman. While the campers will think they are just having fun, they will really be strengthening their mathematical abilities: problem solving skills, number sense, spatial skills, memory and much more. There are so many math skills that can be learned from a deck of cards!

We will also be visiting the library, creating art projects, playing at center time and getting to know the Lower School campus. Our camp will culminate in a celebration on the last day, when the children will be encouraged to come to camp dressed as their favorite nursery rhyme or fairy tale character. Parents will be invited to join us for the afternoon to read nursery rhymes and play cards. Each child will take home a book of rhymes and stories, plus a standard deck of cards and a copy of Let’s Play Cards.

Laura Matthews graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill and received her masters of teaching from the University of Virginia. She is a Kindergarten assistant at Collegiate and has been teaching for six years. Sarah Dunn graduated from James Madison University and received her masters in special education. Sarah is currently in her third year of teaching in Henrico County.

LET’S GET READY FOR KINDERGARTEN

“ All of the communications were very clear. I knew exactly what my son needed to bring and where to go on your gorgeous campus. It was convenient to receive an email the week before the camps started that included general info, the drop off location and the list of things to bring.”

LITTLE YOGIS Sarah Peavey Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders July 10 – 14 • 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. $215 • Bring a filled water bottle, healthy snack and a thin towel to camp each day.

• A yoga mat will be provided for each student and they can take it home at the end of the week.

Little Yogis camp is designed specifically with the creative and active elementary student in mind. Absolutely no prior experience is necessary! This camp will provide students the opportunity to practice fitness, enhance healthy body awareness and increase strength, flexibility and balance in a fun, non-competitive, artistic environment.

Each class is comprised of three parts. During the first segment, students will explore different yoga poses through games, interactive stories and creative movements. Throughout the week, yogis will work on shorter sequences of pose combinations. Participants will spend the second part of class studying a different mindfulness technique each day. This segment will end with a short period of quiet and stillness where students will follow guided relaxations and concentrate on breath work. Yogis will spend the final third of their morning as mindful artists, revisiting the day’s physical yoga practice and meditation experiences through different mediums. Participants will learn about an artist and his personal techniques or preferences and then will reflect upon, express and analyze their own physical reactions and states of mind to the day’s yoga practice through that artist’s style. Little Yogis is the ultimate multisensory experience!

Each afternoon, camp participants will come home with yoga “homework” which has two goals. It will, firstly, emphasize and recap the day’s theme (the physical and meditative practices) and, secondly, encourage a dialogue about personal reactions and observations from the morning session between little yogis and a family member or friend. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely.

Sarah Peavey is a graduate of the 200-hour Teacher Training program at Glenmore Yoga and Wellness Center where she teaches prenatal and children’s yoga classes. She enjoys teaching children’s yoga camps throughout the summer and classes from her home during the year. She is working towards her 500-hour training with an emphasis on therapeutic yoga and her 95-hour Children’s Yoga certification. Sarah enjoys the many physical, mental and emotional benefits of Hatha yoga of all levels. She is excited to offer Little Yogis for the first time ever this summer. Sarah taught French in the Upper School at Collegiate for nine years and spent many seasons coaching and mentoring students. Four years ago she developed the Upper School Winter Yoga class for high school students.

Virginia Outside Ages 6 – 8 July 24 – 28 • 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. $395 • Bring a lunch, healthy snack and filled water bottle from home each day.

Virginia Fishing Adventures camp has provided Richmond’s youth with material for many fish stories over the last six years, and most of them are even true! This week with Virginia Fishing Adventures offers campers the opportunity to learn the basics of freshwater fishing, from casting, to lure and bait choices, to the best places to catch fish.

Pick-up and drop-off for this camp will be at Luck Hall, located on the Collegiate Lower School campus. Virginia Fishing Adventure staff will drive campers to private freshwater ponds and nearby rivers. We fish mostly private ponds with this younger group of campers to ensure success. Safety is our number one priority, so all campers will wear life jackets when in the water or on a boat. Also, we maintain a 1:4 counselor-to-camper ratio. This camp has limited spaces, so sign up early!

Virginia Fishing Adventures provides all bait and tackle, rods and reels, and life jackets. The campers should bring their own sunscreen, and wear shoes and clothes that they don’t mind getting wet and dirty.

WOODWORKING FOR LOWER SCHOOLERS Steve Hart Rising 1st – Rising 4th Graders June 19 – 23 • 1 – 3 p.m. $185 • Projects and activities will be adjusted for the grade level of participants.

This camp allows your child to be immersed in the world of fine woodworking through the safe use of bronze planes, straight and curved chisels, specialty saws and measuring/marking tools.

Woodworking at Collegiate identifies naturally as craft, but it also provides opportunities for individual artistic expression. Prior skills of arithmetic and language are summoned, and the emphasis is on developing a plan and executing it to conclusion.

Each camper is given their own set of materials and tools, and each will not only create 4-5 individual projects to take home, but will also work with other students to create a separate class piece of woodwork. The process will mimic an 18th-century master/apprentice model whereby an adult craftsman would literally work alongside a child – designing, cutting, shaping and fitting assorted components into a final product. Let your child come make some noise with a mallet and cut some long wood shavings on the way to a beautiful result.

Steve Hart has taught woodworking at Collegiate School for 17 years. He is an attorney who has worked for the same period of time in the Collegiate Development Office as Planned Giving Officer.

In the early days of computer games, long before the graphics we are now accustomed to, text based adventure games ruled. ZORK: The Great Underground Empire is a prime example. As arcade style games evolved incorporating continually improving graphics, the text based games didn’t disappear, they simply went underground. Over time and under the care of a small group of techy, nerdy types that loved to write code as much as they loved to read, the text based games and the tools used to create them evolved into Interactive Fiction.

This is not a “choose your own adventure” genre, but a powerfully immersive experience in which the reader communicates in plain english with the “player” to interact within the world. Imagine reading a Harry Potter novel and being able to tell Harry Potter to cast a certain spell and the rest of the book changes as a result. This is interactive fiction.

Inform7 is a platform that uses plain language coding to create interactive fiction. We will learn to create short “games” and share them with each other as well as playing some of the masterpieces from the earliest days of computer games. No experience is required.

Daniel Bartels is the STEAM Coordinator for the Middle and Upper Schools at Collegiate and has been teaching physics and mathematics since 2002 and has been developing and mentoring FIRST Robotics teams since 2004.

We’re going to play some Minecraft, but we’re going to play with a purpose. The emphasis will be on creating Minecraft maps using satellite data and geographic information from the real world (remember the one outside?) to build our Minecraft civilizations in the same places that our real civilizations emerged: The Fertile Crescent, Indus Valley, Yellow River Valley, Mesoamerica, Norte Chico, etc. We’ll simultaneously explore many dimensions of our real civilizations alongside of playing and modding our Minecraft world. And by modding we mean coding our own mods using Minecraft Forge, Java and the Eclipse IDE (don’t worry if you don’t know anything about this, yet). By week’s end we will have learned to use Minecraft as an environment for role-playing, learned some history, learned some Java and created some Minecraft worlds that should be a useful tool for your history teachers, too!

ACADEMICS

UPPER SCHOOL Rising 9th – Rising 12th Graders

Upper School classes completed by Collegiate Middle School students may be taken for advancement, but will not be credited toward graduation requirements or used in the calculation of a student’s GPA. However, these courses will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

All classes meet Monday through Friday, unless otherwise noted. Though the pacing will differ, course content and academic demands remain consistent with the semester-long versions of these electives. Students will earn the same ½ credit they would have earned for taking the course in the fall or spring. These courses are also open to non-Collegiate students seeking summer enrichment opportunities.

A student who misses two or more classes in a four-week Summer Quest academic course typically may not receive academic credit for that course.

Non-Credit Courses COLLEGE APPLICATION JUMPSTART – HIT THE GROUND RUNNING Collegiate College Counseling Rising 12th Graders at Collegiate Session I: July 31 – August 4 • 9 a.m. – 11:30 p.m.

Session II: July 31 – August 4 • 1 – 3:30 p.m. $215 per session Are you looking to reduce anxiety over organizing your college application process? How about tackling the applications themselves and their essays, or communicating your “demonstrated interest” – whether by phone, email or interview settings? Collegiate’s college counselors take care during the junior and senior years to prepare you well for these tasks, including the summer assignment of a completed application draft, but this Hit the Ground Running seminar offers you the structure and time-on-task for an intensive jumpstart. Primary topics are: researching and organizing applications; completing online applications; crafting essays; communication 101, including interviews; essay feedback; and fine-tuning lists.

You’ll walk away with a personalized notebook for organization, tasks underway or under your belt and great advice. And, your college counselors are uniquely poised to offer that advice – together, they have over 60 years of experience in college counseling and admission, and they’ve evaluated more than 30,000 applications as admission officers in highly selective institutions from across the country, including Gettysburg, Johns Hopkins, NYU, UNC – Chapel Hill and U. Vermont.

This course will be presented by the Collegiate College Counseling staff: Kim Ball, Erin Breese, Liz Jackson, Andrew Reich and Brian Leipheimer.

FICTION WORKSHOP Bart Thornton, PhD Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders Session I: June 12 – July 7 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Session II: July 10 – August 4 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Monday – Friday No class on Tuesday, July 4 $1,095 per session Designed for students who have shown an aptitude for creative writing and thought, Fiction Workshop focuses on contemporary literature and fiction writing. In some ways the class will resemble the prototypical English class: you will read, discuss and write about the material you have read. On the other hand, the vast majority of work you produce will be creative rather than critical. By course’s end, you will have written three strong stories and a compelling novella (several chapters in length). This work – presented in an “anthology” along with some of your favorite pieces by your peers – will serve as a testament to your originality and diligence as a fiction writer and editor.

Dr. Bart Thornton chaired the English Department for seven years at Collegiate School, where he now serves as Dean of Faculty. He teaches American literature, Russian literature, Postmodernism and an interdisciplinary course called “Anarchy and the Avant-Garde.”

Previously, he taught at independent schools in Houston and Chicago.

In addition to holding a doctorate in English from the University of Texas at Austin, he writes novels and screenplays.

Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an Aaverage or better in their last two semesters of English – may take this elective for Honors credit. This will, however, require additional, independent reading and writing.

LITERATURE AND FILM CLASSICS Mil Norman-Risch Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders July 10 – August 4 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Monday – Friday $1,095 This course presents literary and film “classics” and proposes that the presence of structural design and complexity is what makes a work of art “great” or “worthy.” The “great works” we read and examine – through discussion, quizzes, projects and papers – are Shakespeare’s Hamlet, T.S. Eliot’s poetry, short stories by William Faulkner and James Joyce, Sergei Eisenstein’s “Odessa Steps” sequence from Battleship Potemkin, Carl Dreyer’s 1928 film, The Passion of Joan, Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window and Frances Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. Expect to distinguish moments of virtuosity and craft – and moral significance – as you become more aware of an artist’s use of compositional technique.

Mil Norman-Risch has taught English in the Collegiate Upper School since 1988. She has written and published poetry, essays, textbooks and fiction and has received numerous awards.

Vlastik Svab Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders June 12 – July 7 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Monday – Friday No class on Tuesday, July 4 $1,095 Comedian Lewis Black describes fundamentalism as “the inability to laugh at yourself.” Dave Barry defines a sense of humor as “a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.” Satire comes in many forms: printed word, image and modern visual media. Scholars, journalists and artists have been mocking social norms and human folly since ancient Greece, and this course will continue the tradition of recognizing the hypocrisies and vices of human society. Notable satirists, including Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken, Stephen Colbert, Aristophanes, David Sedaris and Joseph Heller, are just a few of the masters of wit and acerbic sarcasm that are both smarter and funnier than you.

Vlastik Svab has taught Upper School English at Collegiate for 10 years; previously, he taught honors and AP English at Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans, Louisiana. Along with teaching English 9 and Junior/Senior electives, he is also the Senior Speech program coordinator and an advisor for Collegiate’s online student newspaper, The Match.

Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an Aaverage or better in their last two semesters of English – may take this elective for Honors credit. This will, however, require additional, independent reading and writing.

LITERATURE OF CONFLICT Vlastik Svab Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders July 10 – August 4 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Monday – Friday $1,095 The last 15 years of U.S. involvement in conflicts around the globe have fundamentally changed our perspectives of war and those who fight it. At this pivotal juncture in American history, we should explore the literature that has been written about conflict and its effects on those in the battle and beyond. We will read depictions of and reactions to warfare, ranging from the Trojan War to our most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Texts will include poetry, fiction, non-fiction and graphic media, including work from Anthony Swofford, Kevin Powers, Erich Maria Remarque, Garry Trudeau and military blogs written directly from the field. The graphic nature of the subject matter will require a serious and thoughtful approach to a topic that has been a persistent presence in society.

Vlastik Svab has taught Upper School English at Collegiate for 10 years; previously, he taught honors and AP English at Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans. Along with teaching English 9 and Junior/ Senior electives, he is also the Senior Speech program coordinator and an advisor for Collegiate’s online student newspaper, The Match.

Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an Aaverage or better in their last two semesters of English – may take this elective for Honors credit. This will, however, require additional, independent reading and writing.

SATIRE

HEALTH & WELLNESS CLASSES All Collegiate students must complete Health and Wellness I and Health and Wellness II, each ½ credit. A student may take both sections of Health and Wellness II (Driver’s Education and Fitness and Nutrition) during the summer. This will allow for room in the student’s schedule during the school year.

“ Love that you added more academic options this year!

My child received lots of individualized attention.”

DRIVER’S EDUCATION – CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 19 – 30 • 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Monday – Friday $325 Classroom instruction is a key part of securing a driver’s license.

Taking this class in the summer frees up time in the fall or spring for other pursuits. This Driver’s Education course completes the classroom requirement needed by a student to obtain a Driver’s Permit in Virginia.

For more information, contact the Summer Quest Office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

HISTORY CLASS WORLD RELIGIONS Brian Justice, Brad Cooke Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders Session I: June 12 – July 7 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

(Cooke) Session II: June 26 – July 21 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

(Justice) Monday – Friday No class on Tuesday, July 4 $1,095 per session “And take upon us the mystery of things as if we were God’s spies...”

– Shakespeare, King Lear The objective of this course is two-fold: 1) to introduce students to the academic study of religion, and 2) to survey various topics within the historical, literary and philosophical traditions of the world’s major religions. We will begin by asking some fundamental questions. What is the meaning of religion? What does it mean to be human? What is the relationship between consciousness and religion? Are human beings as human beings necessarily religious beings? In other words, we will consider the possibility that religion is a universal phenomenon – perhaps even a necessary one – in human life.

Then, in attempting to survey some of the Bible and some parts of the world’s major religious traditions, we will give some attention to historical and cultural settings, but we will also emphasize the reading of sacred texts and other critical primary source material in order to grasp something of their insight into the basic religious questions. It is hoped that each student will attain an objective yet sympathetic understanding and appreciation of religion and its role in human affairs.

Brian Justice began teaching in 1992 and he has taught religion and history at Collegiate School since 1996. He has taught and coached with Summer Quest since 1996. Brad Cooke has taught at Collegiate since 2011 and this is his 18th year as a teacher.

For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

FITNESS AND NUTRITION Rising 9th – Rising 12th Graders June 19 – 30 • 1 – 3 p.m.

Monday – Friday $245 This is a required course for Upper School Collegiate students to meet the requirement for one-half of Health and Wellness II. Taking this class in the summer frees up time in the fall or spring for other pursuits. This two-week, ¼ credit summer course will cover different aspects of nutrition and fitness. Students will study nutrition related to current events, how nutrition relates directly to health, the nutrition tools that are available on a daily basis and how the digestive and immune systems work. We will also examine the main food nutrients such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water.

Participants will be able to plan a healthy diet and explain how food and fitness relate directly to energy and a healthy body.

SCIENCE CLASSES BIOLOGY II – THE GREAT DISEASES

“ The facilities were amazing, as usual. Always exceeds expectations.”

Shayna Cooke Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders June 12 – July 7 • 12:30 – 5:00 p.m.

Monday – Friday No class on Tuesday, July 4 $1,095 “The next big and murderous human pandemic, the one that kills us in millions, will be caused by a new disease – new to humans, anyway. The bug that’s responsible will be strange, unfamiliar, but it won’t come from outer space. Odds are that the killer pathogen –most likely a virus – will spill over into humans from a nonhuman animal.

From what innocent creature, in what remote landscape, will the Next Big One emerge? A rodent in southern China? A monkey in West Africa? A bat in Malaysia that happens to roost above a pig farm, from which hogs are exported to Singapore? In this age of speedy travel between dense human populations, an emerging disease can go global in hours. But where and how will it start? Recent outbreaks offer some guidance, and so I traced the origins of Ebola, Marburg, SARS, avian influenza, Lyme disease and other bizarre cases of spillover, including the grim, unexpected story of how AIDS began from a single Cameroonian chimpanzee” (Quamman, D., 2012).

Biology II – The Great Diseases will address these very questions about global pandemics and what the effects of these diseases can have on the global population. Students will learn in this class via lecture, primary source readings, project-based learning and lots of field trips. This course will satisfy a 1/2 (Honors) science elective.

For more information, contact Shayna Cooke at shayna_cooke@collegiate-va.org.

Daniel Bartels Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 12 – July 7 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Monday – Friday No class on Tuesday, July 4 $1,095 In this Integrative STEAM course, students will engage in technological/engineering design based projects with an emphasis on engineering, robotics and the physical sciences in general.

Computational approaches to these fields will also be explored (e.g., the Human Genome Project is a computational approach to biology and genetics). Examples of software we may use are Mathematica, MatLab, RStudio, etc. Students will also use multiple operating systems and have the opportunity to use multiple programming languages.

Engineering design graphics such as Autodesk Inventor will be used as well. In addition to exploring new content and relationships between various content areas, this course is intended to provide students an opportunity to function as a creative member of a design team and to develop skills relevant to problem solving, critical thinking and innovation.

The course will consist of two concurrent components: a team project directed by the faculty team, and independent or small group projects directed by students. To satisfy requirements of the first component, students will work collaboratively with a faculty team on ongoing projects at Collegiate related to national and international competitions such as FIRST Robotics or Team America Rocketry Challenge. During this component, we will introduce basic engineering and design concepts and principles. We will also analyze and evaluate past years’ robots created by our robotics teams. To satisfy requirements of the second component, students will work independently (or in small collaborative groups) on a project (or projects) of their own design intended to integrate content of other courses (Science, Mathematics and Arts & Humanities) in which they are currently or have previously been enrolled. In this component, students will be expected to produce one or more design products and give presentations periodically.

ADULT PROGRAMS

MINDFUL LEADERSHIP FOR ADULTS Alex Peavey, Michael Brost Monday, July 17 – Thursday, July 20 6 – 8 p.m. $100 Mindfulness is a practice of presence and self-awareness, which is the foundation for self-leadership and a prerequisite to leading others. In this class, participants will have the opportunity to learn the attitudes and practices of mindfulness, the realms of Emotional Intelligence, and the neuroscience behind it all. Come experience the same training that Fortune 500 companies, professional athletic teams, and hospitals have relied on to maximize performance and to cultivate positive leadership skills. Participants will also be trained in John Maxwell’s laws of leadership, which are key to developing yourself and those around you, and are essential to make a great and lasting impact. The leader sees the big picture, but he or she needs other leaders to help make their mental picture a reality. As a group, we are going to embark on a journey of personal growth. In this training course, you will be challenged to take the many small steps that lead to success each and every day of your life. You’ll learn principles that have been tested and proven again and again. The time you spend with this material will prove to be a worthy investment.

Alex Peavey is the Upper School Counselor at Collegiate School, and he first brought mindfulness to Collegiate in 2004, where he has been teaching these strategies to students, faculty and parents, as well as at corporations, colleges and universities, hospitals and government agencies. He received his professional training from Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Alex’s primary work outside of Collegiate is in training mindfulness for peak performance to individual athletes and teams at the high school, college, and professional levels.

Michael Brost has been at Collegiate since 1993. In March 2016, he became a John Maxwell Team Certified Trainer, Coach & Speaker in Leadership. Currently, Michael is working with individuals and businesses in the Richmond community who seek to gain greater selfawareness, personal responsibility and accountability in every aspect of life.

KICKSTART FOR ADULTS Will O’Brien Collegiate Sports Performance Coach Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays June 12 – August 4 • 5:30 – 6:30 a.m. *Must have a minimum for class to make.

Pricing: 8 workouts = $200 16 workouts = $360 23 workouts = $460 • Each participant will be required to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q).

KickStart fitness is not your average workout. There are no machines, no boring routines and best of all, there’s something for everyone. Our training methods have been proven at the highest levels of competitive sport to improve your physical performance and energize your personal fitness goals and self-confidence. KickStart fitness is changing the face of Sport Performance Training in Richmond. If you’re ready to make breakthroughs you never thought possible, KickStart is for you.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN A KICKSTART CLASS? A typical KickStart training session will incorporate a dynamic warm-up, a period of interval training with movements that will have you squat, lunge, push, pull, brace and rotate. These workouts are designed to maintain an elevated heart rate to extend the benefits of strength training and endurance building.

We focus on proper movement and technique to ensure maximum benefit. Instead of relying on a series of machines to get you through a workout, you learn to rely on your own body and your own strength to propel you towards breakthroughs you never thought possible.

Every day is different. There are always new challenges to take on and new goals to strive for. It’s time to stop making excuses and take a step toward being in the best shape of your life. Hurry...space is limited to the first 25 eager participants!
