Additional Information - Running Camps

Here are a few XC camps which have good word of mouth among MHS and other local runners and coaches, and which don't conflict with our preseason XC training (there are a couple others that overlap with our first week of training in August. I've left those off the list for now). On the CC line above are a few parents whose kids may or probably will attend one of these camps.
