frequently asked questions (and answers)

1. can my child room with his/her teammates? heck, yeah! since cross country really is a team sport, one of the main points of camp is to bond with teammates. campers will be grouped with their team in the cabins.


2. what is the ratio of counselors to campers? we have at least one counselor in each cabin and there are about 16 campers in each cabin. in addition we have at least eight senior campers who oversee all activities.


3. can my child just do one of the two daily runs? yes! an injured runner isn't a very fast (or happy) runner, so we don't want any overuse injuries. we have running-in-the-pool workouts during both the morning and afternoon runs. if your camper doesn't want to do one of the runs, he or she will do a non-impact running workout in the pool with one of the coaches instead.


4. my child already had a physical. can we send in that form instead of the medical clearance form? sure. as long as we have a cleared-for-activity form signed by a doctor or nurse, that requirement is satisfied.
