Camp

Mill Creek High School

Cross Country Camp

July 10th-14th, 2023

 

Dear Mill Creek XC Runners:

 

It’s that time of year when we begin planning for the upcoming 2023 Cross Country season.  Part of that planning involves summer training, and we’d like to extend the following opportunity to you!

 

Monday, July 10th  through Friday, July 14th, we’d like to invite you to attend our MCXC camp at Berry College in Rome, Georgia. The college is allowing us this unique opportunity to train, board, and dine at their amazing campus at a cost of $315 per runner. This is a great deal and a wonderful chance for you to become a better runner, train with your coaches and teammates, get a t-shirt commemorating the camp, and experience running in some of the most beautiful landscapes in our state.

​

This year the only requirement to attend is for a runner to be one of the first 48 to sign up and to be on pace for 200 miles for summer mileage. Runners will need to fill out this Google Form to reserve a spot: https://forms.gle/6Mh1S3jpAhc4espX8. If a runner signs up for camp but is not on pace for 200 miles, then they will not attend camp. If there is a waiting list, then the next person will be moved up to attend. 

 

A typical day will include the following (subject to change):
