“Our goal is to provide Olympic hopefuls with the knowledge and training to develop their skills,” said Caitlin Connor Royer, assistant program development and competition manager for Hillsdale College’s Halter Shooting Sports Education Center. “These camps are important because they provide students with small group training from some of the best shooters in the nation.”
Junior Olympic Development Camps aim to improve shooters’ skills over the course of six days through guided instruction from current and former USA Shooting Olympians and National Team members. Sessions include individual and small group coaching with Olympic shooters, a presentation on the U.S. Constitution from Hillsdale College Faculty, a sports physiology session with USA Shooting trainers, and shooting competitions. The cost of attendance is $2,000 per student, which covers transportation to and from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, housing, meals, clay targets and ammunition, small group coaching, and evening activities.
The camps will be held at the Hillsdale College John Anthony Halter Shooting Sports Education Center, which has been the official home of the USA Shooting National Team since 2019. “These athletes are the future of the shooting sports,” said Hillsdale College Chief Administrative Officer Rich Péwé. “We are honored to host them and the Olympic greats who will be coaching them.”
