Summer XC / Running Camps

Varsity XC athletes: remember, you don’t need to go to a running camp to be a great runner – you just need to RUN ALL SUMMER and follow the Summer Training program I gave you. (If you don’t have a Summer Training program, make sure you get one from me before the summer starts.) However, if you would like to go to a running camp and you think it would help motivate you this summer, the attached info will be helpful.
