“The LPC Training Camp far exceeded my expectations in every regard. The Coaching staff was expert in their respective fields, and provided excellent hands on instruction. The Camp provided an opportunity to improve upon technique, and to obtain a great fitness base for the upcoming race season.
I will definitely return!” Keith Henry, camper and triathlete

Camp LPC takes place in the regions of Kissimmee, Clermont, and Orlando Florida.
Camp LPC accommodations take place at Emerald Island Resort (EIR), only three miles from Walt Disney World..

Once inside you feel as if you have entered a special preserve. Emerald Island is surrounded by a Conservation Area and encompasses over 300 acres with 11 heavily wooded acres right in the middle of the community.

Note: Below is a tentative training outline and is subject to change. The camp is geared for adult (16+) beginner to experienced levels of ability and development, who aim to participate in triathlon distances ranging from sprint to Ironman. A more detailed camp schedule and timeline will be emailed prior to the camp. After an athlete pays the camp deposit, a detailed questionnaire will be emailed (about one month prior to the start of the camp) in an effort to provide the camp coaches with important background info for each athlete. This will help the coaches develop a personalized training program for each camper. For most workouts, athletes will be divided into three different groups based on level of ability and development. Therefore, many workouts will be focused for athletes who are "beginners" or "intermediates" or "elites".

Approximate durations for each workout are shown after the workout description below (in parentheses). The shorter duration aerobic workouts will be more suitable for beginners and/or campers gearing up for short-course triathlons. The longer duration aerobic workouts will be more suitable for those who have a sufficient fitness base entering the camp, and who are beyond beginner ability, or gearing up for a long-course triathlon. Coaches will ensure that all athletes feel comfortable and fit well in a group that will reflect their current level of fitness and ability. Fatigue levels and other factors might come into play that will have campers train with the "longer" group one day, and with the "shorter" group at another session.

This is not a "hammer" or "epic" big mileage camp. The focus is on technical instruction. Having said that, there will be plenty of opportunities to get lots of aerobic and high-intensity training banked throughout the week.

The first official workout of Camp LPC will take place Sunday morning, March 13th. However, campers are welcome to arrive at the camp houses as early as Friday afternoon, and all campers are encouraged to arrive at their respecitive accomodations by Saturday evening.

• Personalized training sessions - campers will fill out a questionnaire that will inform coaches of personal goals, current fitness, and current levels of ability and development. Coaches will ensure that each training session is appropriate for each camper. Every training session will always have a well communicated goal and purpose.
• Individual coaching attention - Coaches James, Char, and Nissim, will ride along with the campers for every bike session. This provides the opportunity to assess and provide feedback "on the fly". Swim sessions will have a technical focus so that campers can take full advantage of Coach Jeff's expertise. Coach Char will provide much advice regarding injury prevention and core strengthening exercises. Coaches Rob and James provide tips at all run sessions. All campers will have numerous opportunities to have their specific questions answered by LPC's Professional Certified Coaches.
• Educational Seminars - campers will enjoy the laid back and informative seminars conducted by LPC's Coaches. Questions will be answered throughout each seminar.
• Facility access. Access to Emerald Island Resort, the Orlando YMCA Aquatic Center, Lake Louisa State Park, and Orange Lake Country Club Resort (including River Island).
• Video Technical Analysis and Camp DVD - campers will be mailed the LPC Camp DVD of each camper's above water and under water swimming footage. Editing of the footage will contain voice-over stroke correction feedback from Coach Jeff Cowan. In addition, highlight footage from the entire camp will contain priceless memories of your Camp LPC experience. Ask any previous camper how much they enjoyed this comprehensive DVD!
