Free Race4Chase Kids Triathlon Program at Mountain Mist Day Camp

The Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA will offer the Race4Chase Kids Triathlon program this summer at Mountain Mist Day Camp. This is a free program for kids age 6-12 offering instruction in running, cycling and swimming. The Race4Chase Kids Triathlon program is a youth triathlon program aimed to provide kids aged 6 to 12 with a safe, healthy non-competitive environment to discover the sport of triathlon. It brings together kids from all different backgrounds and educates them on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle, coaches them to develop a foundation of athletic skills, and inspires them to aim high in sports and in life. This program was created in memory of Chase Kowalski and funded by a grant from the CMAK Foundation.

This free program will include triathlon training and fun activities. Training dates and times are June 26 – August 4, Monday - Friday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Free breakfast snack and lunch are included. Participants must commit to all six weeks of training and the race. Bicycles are provided by the program for training purposes. Any participant that does not own a bicycle can take one home with them after completing the six weeks of training and the race. An option is available for an additional fee to stay at camp after the training and participate in afternoon camp activities.

There are a limited number of spots for this program and participants must apply. To apply for the program, visit meridenymca.org/race4chase. Applications are due by April 28. A limited number of spots are available. Contact Carrie at 203-440-1925 with questions.
