Cyclone Wilderness Cross Country Camp

July 25-29, 2010 —For Boys and Girls-Grades 7-12

A great way to get a jump start on the 2010 season. Bring your whole cross country team and build a championship attitude. The camp is a great opportunity to run with training partners at your running level while getting personalized advice from collegiate runners and coaches. Having fun is a big part of the camp, but we are aiming the camp at individuals who really want to become a better athletes and leaders. Our philosophy focuses on education rather than “logging in the miles.” It is our hope that campers will leave the camp healthy, motivated, and excited to reach their goals for their high school / junior high program.
