Open
to junior high and senior high school boys and girls who are
serious
about becoming better runners. The students enrolled in
our camp will receive
a steady diet of cross-country running each day. This is
a NON-COMPETITIVE
camp with training and conditioning only, not a recreation
camp. Open to 7th
thru 12th grade boys and girls - younger runners call for information.
Students
can sign up for more than one week. There are no refunds if a student leaves camp
early for any reason.
