XC Summer/Camp Info
2024 Cross Country Summer Camp Information
There are multiple opportunities for running camps this summer.
CGHS Team Camp in Glide, Oregon. August 12-14. Cost $100 (not due until August). This is the same team camp that 24 of our athletes attended last year when the season started. All CGHS high school cross country athletes that meet the summer training criteria are eligible to attend. Specific camp details will be available toward the end of the school year, but please be sure to add the dates to your calendar.
Bowerman Track Club Running Camp in Bend, Oregon. Carter Bengtson attended this camp last summer and was hoping some CGHS team members may join him this summer. Athletes that are interested should communicate with each other about which week they would like to attend. Athletes should also be capable of running a minimum of 30 miles a week as the training at the camp is rather intensive. The cost is $975 if registered before March, but there is a $75 discount if five members of the same team attend. There are also partial and full scholarships available (see camp website for scholarship application form). For full details about the camp please access their website HERE.
2023 XC Camp Highlights!
Despite triple digit temperatures and a little smoke the team had an amazing start to the season! It's tough to put into words how successful the trip was, so Coach Tucker wrapped it up into a great highlight video! We're looking forward to finishing out the week with some morning practices and Meet the Lions on Friday. Be sure to check out the calendar as well as a reminder of important upcoming dates below.

Cross Country Camp Information/Criteria is below:
We will kick off the official start to the season on August 14th with a two night/three day team camp. There will be more details to come as we get closer, but here are the important points for now:
Dates: 8/14 - 8/16 (we were hoping for the week before, but these are the dates the camp had available). We will leave Monday morning (8am) and return Wednesday afternoon. A detailed itinerary including a list of what to bring will be available soon.
Location/Facility: Glide, OR at Little River Christian Camp (we are renting the facility).
Cost: $100 per athlete (includes all meals and transportation to and from camp from CGHS). If athletes have met the practice criteria for the summer they may pay the fee via the school web store linked HERE.
Athletes must attend 15 of the 28 summer workouts to be eligible to attend. This is for safety reasons as athletes need to be adequately prepared for the running that will take place during the trip. If you will be out of town during the summer and unable to attend our summer workouts please talk to Coach Knutson prior to leaving for the school year to discuss alternatives.
Athletes must be officially signed up for cross country on familyID and have a current physical.
Camp is not required, but will be a fantastic opportunity to train and connect with teammates.
For those not attending the camp, official practice to start the season with the entire team will be August 17th at 9am at CGHS.
