Our staff to camper ratio of about 1 to 7 allows each runner to get the individual attention that he or she needs. Each cabin has a resident staff member. Our staff consists primarily of successful high school and collegiate coaches throughout the Northeast. We also have a team of lifefuards as well as a Registered Nurse on staff.

Our Host Facility

Our host, Camp Westmont, in Poyntelle, PA offers endless miles of well groomed trails and rural dirt roads. We have found cross country paradise at this facility. The soft running surfaces, beautiful scenery and challenging hills make this the ideal location for a running camp. The 100 acre lake offers canoes, kayaks, waterslides, and a water trampoline.
