Train with purpose.
Leave excited to run.
From developing runners to state champions, campers choose from 5–6 distance and intensity options on each run. The goal is a challenge suited to your ability and experience.
We alternate harder and easier days, with recovery part of the plan. We want runners to leave feeling capable, encouraged, and ready to keep growing.
- Training options for different abilities
- College-runner counselors and shared learning
- Leadership, character, and teamwork throughout the week

Creative team challenges, friendly competition, and plenty of encouragement make the games a memorable part of Ultimook.
Bring your effort, your ideas, and your willingness to try. You’ll have teammates cheering you on.
A flower farm.
A river valley.
A true camp experience.
Hydrangea Ranch sits beside the Kilchis River in Tillamook, surrounded by flowers and the forested Coast Range. It’s a home base for shared meals, new friendships, and the adventures between runs.
Campers sleep in large greenhouses with their own sleeping gear. Hot showers and three meals a day are part of the camp experience.
