Is Big Birdcamp for You?
Well, the short answer is YES! 100% YES!
But if you’re looking for a more detailed explanation of why Birdcamp is for you, keep reading!
This will be Oiselle's 5th year of Volée Team Birdcamps...and every year is different! We are thrilled to be mixing it up with Big Birdcamp in 2018 (no Sesame Street characters were harmed in the naming of camp). August 24th-27th, Equinunk, PA.
1. ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME
I mean it. You will not be left behind. I’m going, and I am what some might call a “middle of the packer.” We will have groups runs geared towards all distances and all paces. Each of them will have a run group leader and a sweeper, so there is no way you’ll get lost or left behind. If you’re injured or taking a break from running, that’s ok too. We will have SO MANY other activities that don’t involve running. They might not even involve standing up! You can swim, bike, climb a rock wall, stand-up paddle board or learn how the pros deal with injury and setbacks.
2. YOU WILL MAKE AWESOME NEW FRIENDS AND LAUGH UNTIL YOUR FACE HURTS
Runners are awesome, Volée members are super awesome. Even if you come alone, you will leave with so many new friends and maybe even a six pack from laughing so hard. You’ll meet people you would have never had a chance to meet otherwise: pro runners, masters runners, mother runners, new runners, runners who live across the country.
3. YOU’LL GET TO LEARN FROM THE PROS
Lauren, Kara, Allie, Sally, Dr Lesko…the list goes on. How can you deal with injury? What’s it like to have a massive break out race? What is the latest and greatest, yet-to-be-released flystyle? They’ll tell you! You’ll get one on one access with the Oiselle Pros, members of the Haute Volée and the gang from the Nest.

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.
Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes
We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes. Hear from Madie Boreman, Kendra Coleman, Brenna Detra, Carmen Pelar Graves, and Ari Hendrix-Roach.
