Please note that this camp is meant as a service to all those I coach. I do not make any money from a camp like this, which is how I am able to keep the costs so reasonable. I will offer this to coached athletes first and then open it up to the public. First come, first serve when it comes to housing! I reserve your room once I have your money.
Make your housing requests when you email me your reservation. Payment due by April 25th.
Bedroom #1 (Main floor) – 1 Queen Bed & Private bathroom (that you will probably end up sharing)
Bedroom #2 (top floor) – 1 full bed and 1 Twin bed, there is a bathroom on this floor.
Bedroom #3 (bottom floor)– 1 full bed and 2 twins, there is a sink in the room and a shared bathroom on this floor.
Bedroom #4 (bottom floor) – 1 full bed, there is a shared bathroom on this floor.
Bedroom #5 (boathouse) - 1 king bed, no bathroom here, you have to walk over to the house, but you have the best view (Yes, there is AC).
*Why should you go to camp? There are many reasons but here are a few of my favorites:
· You make new friends and bond with teammates in a way you don’t usually have a chance to.
· You have a weekend of focused training led by some fantastic coaches.
· I work to bring in extra coaches every year to expose you to other ideas and information because this is how we grow.
· Finally, when you surround yourself with like-minded people you tend to perform better. Everyone is invited to this camp to challenge themselves and to grow in a supportive environment. Take advantage of it! All you have to do is show up and we will take care of the rest!
