Pursuit Workshops at Camp Bennett: Parkour, Nerf Battles & Jump Training in Sandpoint, ID

Pursuit Workshops at Camp Bennett in Sandpoint, Idaho, are a lively weekly series that turns a rural community property into an indoor movement playground. Located at 146 E. Shingle Mill Rd., these 90-minute sessions take place inside the barn on Camp Bennett Community Association land and focus on skill-building—everything from parkour fundamentals to themed Nerf blaster battles and explosive jump training. Coach Will leads small groups (up to 12 people) through clear progressions that prioritize safety and fun, making the workshops approachable for families, beginners, and athletes refining specific skills.

The scene is immediate: a low-slung barn with clean athletic mats, open floor space for drills, and a wrap-around driveway shared with chickens and local dogs; the entrance asks visitors to keep speeds to 5 mph and respect a shoes-off policy that protects the facility’s specialized flooring. Each session follows a practical flow—an introduction to safety, focused instruction and drills, then a final challenge or open play—and rotating themes mean your fifth visit can feel completely new. The Western and Star Wars Nerf battles reimagine tactical games for mixed ages, while the parkour and jump workshops break movements into teachable parts so participants build confidence and capability.

What makes Pursuit stand out in Sandpoint’s broader outdoor recreation scene is its focus on transferable movement. Sandpoint is known for big-water activities and mountain access, but Pursuit carves out an indoor training niche where local youth and visiting families can work on balance, landing mechanics, spatial awareness, and teamwork away from trails and boats. It’s also run through the Camp Bennett Community Association, a local project that keeps programming community-centered—registration requires a free member agreement and parents must stay for children four and under.

Practical notes: bring bare feet or indoor-only gym shoes, wear athletic clothes, and plan to sign the General Member Agreement before participating. The sessions are beginner-friendly but active—expect running, jumping, and obstacle navigation. The facility enforces no food or drinks on the mats and reserves coach discretion to adapt games for safety.

Pursuit Workshops are small, playful, and useful: they teach measurable athletic skills, host riotous themed skirmishes, and offer a reliable indoor training option on Idaho’s rural north shore. For visitors staying in Sandpoint who want to add movement practice to a weekend of hiking or paddling, a Wednesday workshop delivers concentrated coaching, fresh challenges, and an honest good time in a community-minded space.

Check-in is at 146 E. Shingle Mill Rd.; parking is available in the wrap‑around driveway—please leave the space in front of the barn man door clear for emergency access and use the flag lot for overflow. Sessions cap at 12 participants to keep groups small and coaching focused; book via the FareHarbor page.
