parkour camps in US?
Posted June 24th, 2012 - 2:39 am by from Gloucester City, United States (Permalink)
Hi everybody,

I was wondering if anybody knew of a cool parkour-camp anywhere in the US, where you can stay for a week or more. I have a free plane ticket to use up, and i'm just getting into parkour and would love to do an intensive training or immersion. any place that also does tai chi or yoga training would be a big bonus. Thanks in advance!

There's a distinct lack of "camps" in parkour, the communities are based from urban centers for the most part.
If you want to camp and train you can always come down to the western md appalachians and I'll take you to my stomping grounds. I've taught parkour for several years and I train for the most part in the woods. It wouldn't require a plane ticket, but it also won't cost you anything to train here...

These videos were shot at my normal training spots:

thanks for the invite, elet. if i am in your area i'll let you know and maybe we can run around the woods.
on a whim, i chose san francisco as my impromptu destination. i may make my way down to the LA area, in which case i'm sure i will check out Tempest. if anyone in san fran happens to read this who wants to hang out while i'm there, let me know. i'll be around the last 2 weeks of september through the first week of october.
