Young Athlete Summer Running Camp
Description:
Young Athlete Camp, 18th - 22nd August 2025.
We have been running our young athlete camps for over 10 successful years. This year our camp will take place at Tonbridge School with its excellent facilities and superb private accommodation. The camps are designed for 12-17 year olds of all abilities to improve their knowledge and performance whilst enjoying a fun packed camp agenda.

o Team and individual awards throughout
Testimonials from past camp attendees and their parents!
Sarah August 2023
Thank you for everything. The camp was amazing!
Both of mine want to come back! They have never been on a residential camp before, where they haven’t known anyone, so that is a real credit to the quality of your camp!
Antonia August 2023
Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing camp. Bo had a great time and hasn’t stopped talking about it since she got home. All of the coaches were great and it was all so well organised, we loved getting the daily updates from Richard.
Charlie August 2023
Overall I thought the camp was really good. I thought it was really good having the activities in the evening as they were a bit of fun and quite distracting from the long day. I really liked having my own room as it made it easier to get to sleep and having the q and a with the two GB athletes was really insightful and I learnt a lot from it. Definitely planning on coming next year and looking forward to it already.
Penny August 2023
Thanks for that and thank you so much for putting on such an amazing camp. This was perfect for Isabel and I really think she has learnt some great skills and it will have hopefully helped her confidence with her running.
Ruth August 2023
Jacob had such a good time at the Young Athlete Camp. Thank you all so much for creating such a brilliant week - and for keeping parents so well updated - I really enjoyed the videos.
Susanne August 2019
My daughter has really got a lot out of the activities that have been covered and enjoyed learning how to improve her training.
Vanessa August 2019
My daughter has had a fabulous time at your camp. She came back buzzing! You totally restored her mojo which had been lost through injury and GCSE's. She cannot stop talking about your training tips and plans.
Helen August 2019
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the experiences that you gave my son last week. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and only had positive things to say about the whole week. It’s also lovely to hear that you would be happy for him to be one of your helpers next year if the opportunity arose. Also from a parents point of view, thank you for communicating everything so efficiently. You made the whole process of sending him away for the week an easy one!
Toby August 2018
I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the coaching team and yourself for how amazing the camp was. I have learnt so much from it and made so many good friends. All the seminars about various different topics like nutrition and biomechanics has really broadened my horizons around running. It has certainly been a life-changing experience.
Alice August 2018
Just a quick note Richard to say thank you very much to yourself and your team of coaches, for last weeks Young Athlete Camp. Alice had an absolutely wonderful week, she thoroughly enjoyed herself, making many new friends and learning lots.
A great experience for these young athletes, so Thank you!
Emma August 2018
I just wanted to thank all the coaches at Full Potential for the young athlete camp last week. I had such a great time, learnt so much about training which has helped me this week with my running and I made many great friends! I really enjoyed the seminars especially Katie and Julia’s on Red-s and the mental strength talk.
I’m missing it so much and I’m hoping to return next year!
Emma August 2018
I just wanted to send a quick email to say a big thank you for putting on the Young athletes Camp in Wellington College last week.  My daughter Maddie really enjoyed her week and after nearly eight weeks of not running due to her asthma, it has kick started her back into running again.  She is really keen to go again next year, and so is her younger sister!
Ellie August 2018
Can I just say that Ellie really enjoyed every aspect of the camp and we’re so grateful to you for awarding the scholarship.
Thanks again to you and the team.
Josh August 2018
Just a quick email to thank you and the other coaches for a fantastic week. Josh had an absolute ball!!
Mimi and Spike August 2018
I wanted to write to say thank you for last week. Both Spike and Mimi came home with sore legs and huge smiles. I think you may be seeing them again!
Millie and Louis August 2017
Millie and Louis had a great time last week and haven't stopped talking about it since, and are keen to return next year. They wanted me to say how much they enjoyed working with you. They are filling me in on what I should be doing better!
Noah August 2017

Rebecca August 2017
Thank you so much for again an amazing time at camp, I'm hoping to come back next year, I had such a good week and learnt loads and made loads of new friends, thank you again.
Becky just wanted to let you know what a lovely time she had at camp and thank you for the week she really enjoyed it yet again more than likely be back next year. Thank you for all your help with everything,
Elina August 2017
I just wanted to thank you for having Elina for the week. She had an amazing time and has come back both exhausted but extremely fired up for her running.
Angus August 2017
I just wanted to drop you an email, to say that Angus throughly enjoyed his week at Wellington College. He's come home enthused about running generally, and has some great ideas to add to his training regime. I know he's attended for the last 3 years, and enjoyed every year, but for some reason, this year, more so in particular.
So a huge thank you to you and the team, and we hope to see you again next year.
Myles Caddell August 2017
Thank you very much to you and all the coaches who helped make the week really enjoyable. I hope to come back next year. It's been great every year and I’ve learnt loads of new exercises and I’m beginning to make lots of new changes to my training.
Once again thank you very much to you and the other coaches who made it a great week, I hope I can come back next year.
Ben Willison August 2017
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you, Ben and all the team for the amazing week on the Young Athlete Training Camp. My son Ben Willison came home so positive and enthusiastic, he hasn’t stopped talking about it.
He has been showing us all the exercises in the strength and conditioning and mobility. We have also found that he’s eating a lot better. He found the nutrition talk really interesting and is now lecturing us on all the right proteins to eat etc.
Thank you once again to the whole team. Ben is looking forward to next year already.
Emily Chong August 2017
Many thanks for last week, Emily enjoyed it immensely. She is still buzzing and wants to return next year! She made quite a few friends whilst there and based on their feedback, it would appear that all of the other participants enjoyed the camp also. It’s a great testament to you and the rest of the coaching team to be able to keep 80 teenagers occupied and happy for a week, well done! Please pass on our gratitude and thanks to the rest of the coaching team and Emily will hopefully see you again next year.
Harry and Emily Cocking August 2017
