Hammerhead Kids
Triathlon Camps!
What The Camps Are All About
Body and Mind Solution's youth triathlon camps make summer more fun with one of the country's fastest growing sports, and they encourage
healthy lifestyles along the way.  Also, it's excellent prep for the Bay Area's newest kids triathlon, the
Hammerhead Kids Triathlons and the
Hammerhead Triathlon Racing Team!  To register, check out the dates below and use Active.com!

Participants will receive instruction in swimming, cycling, running, nutrition, hydration and how to transition between events. Proper technique,
safety, pacing and sportsmanship are emphasized. Repeat campers and older youth work with more advanced skills. Camp ends with a
short “fun race” that allows kids to test the waters in a short practice race.   

Mission
We want to further your mission of teaching your child how to live a happy and fulfilled life through exercise and sport.   There is no set
schedule for achievement.  We want your child to enjoy learning and to have fun in a comfortable learning environment.
