Registration for 2024 (our 50th anniversary camp!) will open January 1st, 2024
Have you been to camp before? We’re collecting memories of past campers (including staff, volunteers, tent assistants) in preparation for our 50th anniversary camp.
This unique camp is designed to give campers (ages 13-18) a realistic wilderness running and camping experience. To enjoy and respect wilderness beauty through running, hiking and exploring, at high altitudes are the major objectives of this camp. Group and individual instruction will be given in all areas of distance training and racing, with emphasis on performance improvement through self reliance, personal accountability and teamwork strategies. To enhance personal growth, campers must be willing to adapt to lack of urban conveniences not found in the great outdoors. (i.e. cell phones, iPods, tablets, DVD players, and other technos just invented.)
Here is a Baker XC Invite post-race photo of STEENS Tent 4 (Session Two) Tent Mates who exemplified:
