"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare."

Cross Country University Running Camp is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the sport of distance running.  For 6 days and 5 nights, runners will focus on how to become a successful high school distance runner.  The main focus of this co-ed camp is to assist every runner to improve. Campers will learn how to train intelligently, to improve their running mechanics, the history of their sport, race strategies, proper nutrition and many other methods that successful runners utilize to achieve their goals.

The "faculty" of this camp is made up of experienced and knowledgeable coaches/teachers that have many years of experience working with young runners. All faculty are former or current elite runners who also have coached at all levels of competition.  They are professionals who understand the needs of young runners. 

Another focus will be on having fun.  Evening activities will include a hypnotist, movie night, talent show, dance , and days will include camp Olympics and much more. 

Our camp is held 10 miles west of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania at Camp Lindenmere which is set on 175 acres.  It has newly refurnished cabins and a fully staffed dining hall with a selection of nutritious foods, including a salad and pasta bar, that will fill the needs of the young endurance athlete.  Though our camp won't include everything listed in the Camp Lindenmere activities, it does include a pool, beach volleyball courts, a miniature golf course, tennis and basketball courts, a game room and much more. 

This camp is open to any runners who are entering grades 9-12 in the fall of 2008.  If you are a middle school runner, we recommend looking into Advanced XC Camp.
