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 as we get closer.

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

• Cost: $170 $120 per athlete (includes a shirt, six meals, and transportation to and from camp from CGHS). The fee increase is due to the school district not covering transportation cost this year.  DUE TO A GENEROUS DONATION THE TRANSPORTATION COST HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. Payment will be slightly different this year. The webstore is not working and the office won't be open until August 10th, so please use one of the following options for payment:

  1. Bring cash or a check to Coach Knutson at practice. Checks can be made payable to Cottage Grove High School.

  2. Coach Knutson will have a card reader at practice if you prefer to pay using a card.

  3. Talk to Coach Knutson about different options if the first two don't work. We don't want the fee to be a barrier for anyone wanting to attend camp.

Athletes must meet the following criteria to attend camp: 

• Accumulate a minimum of 20 practice points.  Athletes may earn a point for attending workouts offered during the summer and possible partial points for other potential fundraiser activities such as help with graduation set up/tear down. Athletes that are out of town and not able to attend practices may submit evidence of workouts (30 minute minimum) by sending pictures or screenshots of workouts to Coach Knutson via remind or email (ricky.knutson@slane.k12.or.us). Practice points can be 

• For safety reasons athletes must be fit enough to be able to stay with one of the main training groups.  We cover a significant amount of ground during the runs and will not have enough supervision for athletes that are not able to keep up with a main training group.

• Athletes must be officially signed up for cross country on Arbiter Sports prior to departure. The physical and sports fee don't need to be paid yet, but the rest of the registration process needs to be completed.

• There will be a waiver this year that we will share as soon as we recieve it from the camp hosts.

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.
