Coaches, please notice:
However, unless you are attending as a free coach (you have 7 or more runners, 2 with 14 etc), we CANNOT guarantee space.
All coaches will take precedence over non participating attendees. We can only guarantee space for two free coaches per team (one with 7 or more, 2 with 14). We reserve the right to limit the number of coaches for a team to two. After free coaches, we accommodate paid coaches. After that, and subject to availability, we try to accommodate spouses and kids (non-participants). The process of approval for those subject to availability will be first come, first serve, therefore you should register them early. Adding their name to your registration is not a valid registration! Each person must register individually. If we close camper registration, we cannot guarantee further space for coaches. Therefore, everyone should register early! Thanks for your cooperation.
IMPORTANT: Fill out the transportation information as it is necessary for our logistics.
-
All coaches (free or paying) will be assigned supervisory duties.
-
Coaches will room on the floor of their runners unless they are of the opposite gender.
-
Everyone is housed in dormitories of the same gender, therefore we cannot guarantee spouses wishing to stay together if you are both registered as coaches.
-
One coach comes free per 7 runners, and two coaches with 14 runners.
-
Bus Drivers must be counted as one of your allowable coaches, or subject to availability-they will pay a non-participant fee.
-
Coaches MUST be over the age of 21.
Attention All Campers
-

-

Additional Information About Camp Costs

You must bring your key deposit with you to registration. This deposit will be returned at the end of camp if the key is returned. If you turn your key in, you will receive your check back. Key Deposits will not be returned after you leave camp.
