Kiss the Sky Vault Camps

Sky Athletics is a pole vaulting camp and coaching program that helps athletes develop their skills through expert instruction, practical training, and opportunities to jump. Its annual Kiss the Sky Summer Camp takes place at Emmanuel Pines Camp in Northern Arizona, where campers train in the region’s high-altitude setting. The program welcomes both beginners learning to pole vault and experienced vaulters looking to refine their technique.

Camp days include multiple vaulting sessions, skill tests, drills, training techniques, and jumping opportunities on several pits. A low coach-to-athlete ratio allows participants to receive individual instruction from an experienced coaching staff. The camp also shares progressions and techniques associated with Olympians Stacy Dragila, Nick Hysong, Tori Pena, and Melissa Mueller. Recreation and rest are built into the daily schedule, while evenings feature lectures, activities, and free time. Sky Athletics presents the camp as a place for athletes to learn, compete, and challenge themselves. Its website also provides information about camp staff, previous summer camps, and ways to follow the organization on social media.
