  1. Nike Ultimate Camp. Here is some information from the Director:
Hello!

My name is Sarah Anciaux and I am the director of the Nike Ultimate Camp, hosted by the University of Minnesota taking place this summer. The camp takes place at the U of M June 10th - 14th, and runs from 9 am - 4 pm. That's 7 hours of ultimate each day! It will be led by great coaches and players from the Twin Cities area, and will be a great way for both new and experienced middle school and high school players to learn a lot about ultimate frisbee! 

Brian "Strings" Schoenrock - Stat Leader in the AUDL and captain of the mixed national champions and world champions, Drag'n Thrust, along with Mike Clark and myself, also of Drag'n Thrust, will be key components of the planning and execution of this camp. We are all excited and ready to help teach the next generation of players! 

Finally, don't forget, players can take advantage of our group rate (4+ people) when signing up for the camp! Below you can find the camp website for registration and attached is the camp brochure! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! 

Thanks for your time! 

Sarah Anciaux
