Available Camp Spots: Top 16 per gender (8th-12th grade) in the time trial on July 6th. Anyone can choose to run the time trial race to qualify for camp or the 1 mile race. You can only qualify to camp from the longer time trial, not the mile race.

Time Trial Date: July 6th, 2026 - 7:30 am

Camp Purpose: Camp is designed for varsity athletes as a bonding and team building experience for our athletes to come together to focus on bonding, winning a state championship, and developing leadership skills. Athletes will need to qualify for camp via the time trial. This camp is designed to take the best athletes and is not a vacation or a right for team members. It has a purpose and will be used as a tool to better our team. The majority of the athletes on our team will not qualify for camp, but will report for normal practice that week.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO XC CAMP, YOU NEED TO WORK EXTREMELY HARD TO EARN A SPOT!  DO YOUR SUMMER RUNNING!
