App State CC Camp

[Alexis Vale]

I may be going to camp for the first time ever (whoop de doo). At first, I didn't mention it to my guardians because of the price, but they found out and said it was okay. I'll just work off the $365 for them later. 

Anyways, I'm a die-hard runner and my coach reccommended a cc camp for fun. The price includes bed and food. There are talks and instruction classes, with some Olympic runners talking. There's a race on the last day and awards are given out then. The camp is co-ed. Everyone is put into groups according to their speed, but they can move from group to group. There are dances at night and places to go on free time. I think it sounds like fun.

What: Distance & Cross Country Camp
Price: 365 USD

So, I was wondering, if by any slim chance, has anyone here done a camp like this before? What are your thoughts on it, and would you reccommend it?

I went to summer camp every year when I was a Scout (Boy Scouts of America) as a kid.  Up until I was 13 or 14 I think.  It was the hi-light of my summer vacations.  I also went to soccer camp, basketball camp, and baseball camp as well through the years ...

Some of them sucked, some were awesome!

I think it's something definately worth doing and something you won't regret!

I went to 4-H camps (you may or may not know what that is) for a few years, it was always fun, regardless of the crappy things that would happen (like bats in the cabin we stayed in).

I run cross-country (right now the courses are set for 3.1 miles/5k) in the fall. In the spring I run track, the 1600 meters and the 3200 meters (about 1mi and 2mi) and randomly the 800 meters. My off season time (winter and spring) consist of lonely runs with a few road races. I might also do swimming this winter, but I'm not sure.
