Blue Mountain Cross Country Running Camp August 17-23, 2008 $425
2008 Registration is open. As of April 1, there are less than 100 spots remaining
Blue Mountain Cross Country Camp has been the premier camp for high school runners since 1969. The camp was founded to educate and motivate in the sport of cross country. Over 8600 runners have benefited from the Blue Mountain Summer experience. Camp Directors John Malach and Dale Ladd invite you to take part in our 40th year.
Blue Mountain is for runners of ALL ability levels. We have had numerous Footlocker finalists, and runners who have gone on to compete internationally including Olympic Athletes, and Medalists. We have had countless runners take minutes off their previous 5k times and develop the self confidence, motivation, and planning necessary to succeed not only in cross country but in all aspects of life.
Bus service will be available from Buffalo, NY (Eastern Hills Mall) Rochester, NY (Marketplace Mall), Monmouth Junction, NJ, and Rockaway, NJ (Rockaway Town Square Mall). Bus service is also being expanded to new areas (call 570-998-4080 or email john@bluemountainxccamp to request bus service from new areas)

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.
Jim Ryun was at Blue Mountain in 2007
Each year we welcome outstanding guest runners. Jim is one of the greatest distance runners of all time and is the last American to hold the world record in the mile run.
