White Pass Cross Country Camp Registration

White Pass Cross Country Camp Registration opens this Wednesday, 9/30 at 5:00 pm.  We encourage as many athletes to attend this camp as possible as it is a great kickoff to summer training.  Athletes participate in lectures (training systems, nutrition, strength training, etc), workouts up in the mountains along dirt/wood chipped trails, and fun group competitions.  Athletes stay in condominiums across from the White Pass Ski Resort and receive three meals a day.  Athletes must plan on registering early as camp will fill up usually within the first 3-5 days after it is opened.  We attend the first week of camp which this year is 7/10 to 7/15. Registration is online only.  The link to registration is listed below.
