XC Camp
The Greater Cleveland XC Camp is geared for the beginner to the advanced runner, who is looking to have a better focus pertaining to the fundamentals of cross country running and conditioning, to obtain maximum benefit. Through group runs, guest speakers and group activities, each runner will leave with a positive attitude, tools to become an improved runner, and a better understanding of running. The XC camp will be held Tuesday, July 28th through Saturday, August 1st from 8am till 12:15 pm at Shore Middle School in Mentor, Ohio. The camp is open to boys and girls grades kindergarten-12th. While being able to utilize the schools facilities, the camp also features an outdoor amphitheater for group activity, a cross country course, access to a Lake Metropark, miles of bike paths, and rural trails though the Mentor Marsh for training. The Greater Cleveland XC Camp is aware that our campers represent a wide variety of talent, motivations, and experience and we are prepared to tailor our camp to each person’s needs.
