How It Works – For Coaches

We take the hard out of the planning and running camps and retreats

Camp blocks vary in length and season and week/end to accommodate any coach or athlete schedule.
Camps are typically run WED-SUN for a 4 Night-5 Day Experience OR SUN-WED for a 3 Night-4 Day Experience.
Blocks can be combined to include SUN-SUN for a longer period and will also help realize some economies of scale across all services.
Camp schedules and experiences can vary greatly from mid winter off season cross training, to early season build, to mid season focus camps (ie climbing), and even end-of-year Team gatherings. But as we know, great season’s start in the off-season.

Once a week is selected, the coach needs to define the ideal location and venue for the event.
NC is a larger venue and can hold up to 13 private rooms and 14 beds. We offer 2 beds free for coaches. Camps can be as small as 6 +1 coach.
VA, scheduled to deliver in Spring 2023, is smaller and can accommodate up to 9 private rooms and 10 beds. We offer 1 bed free for coaches.
Terrain and training intensity is also a consideration which our team can help with.

Once a week or long weekend and property is chosen, a coach puts a small and fully refundable deposit to hold it. Deposits for WED-SUN are $500 and SUN-WED are $350. Our venues for coaches are completely gratis, but to hold a property for an event we need a refundable deposit. It will come back to you.
Based on the size group intended and property and dates selected, our team will help you design a full camp event schedule from training to food to non-training activities.
Detailed session info, including data for Bike sessions, are provided and planned schedule can be married to athlete experience to best accommodate the group.
A draft Camp Manifest is provided as an Athlete Guide for the full camp experience.

Once the camp plan is completed, First Bourn provides all services to plan and market the camp.
First Bourn helps to market the camp on its channels to provide additional support to drive camp demand.
Payment links for each experience are provided directly to coach to provide to athletes or post via their channels (Facebook, website, private groups).
Once all Athlete registrations are confirmed and payments are made in full, coaches receive full payment before the camp begins.

2-4 weeks before each camp, First Bourn schedules a call with the Coach to confirm all final numbers, Athlete names, etc.
Food and all support services are ordered and confirmed.
A group Camp Briefing Zoom call can be scheduled to allow our team to walk through the Camp Manifest and Q/A.
Coaches can arrive early to get the property tour and review final schedule / QA.

Camps are typically run autonomously by the coach and an assistant who planned it. Additional support can be provided as needed.
If off-site catering is selected, it is delivered, and camps self-heat-n-serve for cost efficiency.
SAG car is provided by FIAT, with a driver optional at an additional cost.
Content is captured by Coach/Athletes and uploaded via cloud to First Bourn for editing.
Reel sent to coach 2-3 days of camp conclusion.
