The

Cross Country Mammoth Running camp is an opportunity for runners to

Mammoth Lakes.

When: Depart, Saturday, August 11th, 6:00
A.M.
Return: Sunday,
August 19th, 6:00 - 9:00 P.M.
Cost: $300. $150

Meals: Included except for one night at local
restaurant and 2 meals in transit.
Transportation: Parent volunteers
Who: ONLY runners who are FIT & can
handle the hard workload of running at Mammoth for 9 days!
The
boosters
club parents have helped organized
the camp for the past 7 years. A
few parents have already discussed some plans for this summer. Other interested parents should call me
immediately.
How
much
spending money? You should bring
enough to pay for one meal on the way up to Mammoth and one meal on the
way
back and one dinner out while there. Allow
enough for souvenirs, film, fishing lures/bait,
etc.
Things
to do
besides running: Hiking, fishing,
swimming, mountain biking, movies, videos
Mountain bike park (at the ski area is about $25/day plus bike
rental of
$20-25). One side trip to Yosemite
and one long hike are planned.
The
number
of participants may be limited.
Priority will go to Varsity runners. Others
will be invited as space permits. We
will attempt
to accommodate all fit runners
this year. The past 5 years we
have been fortunate to have some parents who provided
transportation
and accommodations in condos for the team.
This has allowed us to take up to 20 runners.
Remember: You must be in shape before attending this camp. In addition to being scenic, the runs
are long and hilly. All runs
are at elevations between 8,000 and 11,000 feet. The
shortest run is 8 miles. This means you
must attend summer workouts with team
captains and attain the minimum mileage set out in the training program
or else
you will NOT be allowed to go!
Those
that want to go (& who wouldn't) must inform Coach Fillipow ASAP.
Partial
payments ($150) will be due by
June 30th!
