XC Camp Info

2026 Cross Country Camp

Cross Country Camp Information/Criteria is below:

Athletes that acquire enough practice points over the summer will be eligible to attend our team camp.  There will be more details to come as we get closer, but here are the important points for now: 

• Dates: 8/10 - 8/12.  We will leave Monday morning (8am) and return Wednesday afternoon.  A detailed itinerary including a list of what to bring will be distributed at practice the week before camp.

• Location/Facility: Glide, OR at Little River Camp (we are renting the facility).

Camp Information and Checklist: Please make sure to take care of the following steps this week.

Step 1: Complete Camp Waiver - Please complete the camp waiver if you plan to attend camp. Thank you to the 20 athletes who have already completed this! Our camp host has requested that this is done ASAP. The waiver can be accessed HERE. 

Step 2: Verify Practice Points - Will you accumulate the 20 practice points to be eligible to attend? Practice points are updated daily and viewable HERE. Even if you can’t make it to camp, we are excited to have you on the team this year!

Step 3: Sign up for cross country - Athletes must be registered for fall cross country through Arbiter Sports in order to attend camp. This is not the same as being signed up for summer workouts. You still have until the 17th (first day of official practice) to take care of sports physicals and the fall sports fee does not need to be paid prior to camp, but the rest of the registration process needs to be complete.

Step 4: Pay Camp Fee - A generous donation has covered the cost of transportation, so the camp cost is $120. If cost is an issue, please let Coach Knutson know. We don’t want anyone to miss out because of financial challenges. Because the office does not reopen until August 10 and the online webstore is not currently working, payment may be made using one of the following options:

• Bring cash or check to practice (payable to Cottage Grove High School).

• Pay by card at practice using our card reader.

• If you need another arrangement or financial assistance, please contact Coach Knutson.

Step 5: Sign the Camp Conduct Contract -  This is a new required step to help ensure athletes know behavior expectations before leaving on an overnight trip. These forms will be available at practice this week and will need to be signed by each athlete and a guardian.

For safety reasons, camp itineraries will be distributed at practice the week before camp rather than posted online. Details such as camp address, landline number, packing list and schedule will be included.

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.
