Camp Chikopi offers a structured triathlon program within its traditional overnight boys summer camp in Ontario, Canada. The program supports youth athletes who are committed to developing in swim, bike, and run disciplines while remaining part of a full multi-sport camp environment.
Triathlon training is designed to maintain conditioning, refine technique, and strengthen race awareness throughout the summer.
Triathlon training focuses on the three core disciplines:
Swimming
Cycling
Running
Instruction emphasizes proper technique, pacing, and safe progression. Campers are grouped by age and experience.
Training may include:
Brick workouts (bike-to-run transitions)
Biathlons and duathlons
Transition practice
Endurance development
The goal is steady improvement rather than volume-based training.
Triathlon instruction includes:
Efficient stroke mechanics for open water
Cycling safety and bike handling
Running form and pacing
Transition efficiency
Hydration and race preparation fundamentals
Campers learn how to manage effort across three disciplines while maintaining technique and composure.
Camp Chikopi maintains a fleet of bikes and utilizes:
The 50-metre lake-fed swim pool
Open water swim areas
Camp roadways and designated cycling routes
Structured running courses
All sessions are supervised and integrated into the broader camp schedule.
Triathlon campers continue to participate in other land and water sports during their stay. This cross-training approach supports overall athletic development and reduces over-specialization during the summer.
Triathlon at Chikopi is intended to maintain fitness, refine skills, and support competitive athletes without isolating them from the full camp experience.
