What it is
Two weeks,
endless potential.
The camp runs across two weeks and you can join one week or both. Each week is ten coached sessions, Monday to Saturday, with Sunday at rest. Every session is on the timetable below and the fee covers all of them: this is a week, not a punch card.
Both weeks follow the same shape; the venues shift slightly in week two, so check the timetable for the week you are joining.
What it is
- For young athletes aged 8 and up.
- Swim, bike and run across the week, plus the transitions between them.
- Coached by the Sláinte Endurance Youth Academy staff.
- No previous triathlon experience required — a comfortable swim and a working bike are.

Before you register
Terms and refund policy
What you are buying
One place for one athlete at the Triathlon Youth Academy Summer Camp, for the week or weeks you choose — every session in them. The fee is AED 595 per athlete per week, or AED 1,071 for both weeks together, and is not sold per session or per day.
Places and confirmation
There are twenty places in each week. A place is confirmed only when payment completes, in the order payments land. If the last place is taken while you are paying, your payment is refunded in full and you are contacted directly — you are never held to a place that does not exist. A both-weeks purchase takes a place in each week together: if either is full, the whole purchase fails and you are not left with half of what you paid for.
Registration closes
Registration for each week closes at 20:00 (GST) the evening before it starts, or earlier if that week's twenty places are taken.
Refunds
Cancellations made in writing before registration closes are refunded in full. After that point the place is held for your athlete and the fee is non-refundable, because the coaching, venues and staffing for the week are committed. If Sláinte Endurance cancels the camp, you are refunded in full.
Missed sessions
The fee covers the week, not attendance. Sessions missed for any reason are not refunded, credited or carried forward.
Safety and medical
A correctly fitted, undamaged helmet is mandatory at every cycling session; an athlete without one does not ride. Tell us about any medical condition, allergy or medication at registration. Coaches may seek emergency medical treatment for an athlete if a parent cannot be reached.
Photography
Sláinte Endurance may photograph sessions for its own coaching and promotional use. Tell us at registration, in the notes field, if you do not want your athlete photographed.
Consent
The parent or guardian registering confirms they are authorised to register the athlete, that the athlete is medically fit to take part, and that they accept these terms on the athlete's behalf.
Questions
Anything at all about the week, the sessions or your athlete's readiness — write to us before you register, not after.
