Advanced Cross Country Camp

For the best selection and service for all your running needs!

Welcome to the Advanced Cross Country Camp Web Site!

This Year's Camp Dates are August 17th - August 21st, 2009!!!

Hello, and welcome to Advanced Cross Country Camp! We would like to take a bit of your time to introduce ourselves. Myself (Rich Concato) and Pam Spadola have been the Cross Country and Track coaches at Howell Middle School North for many, many years.

Over those years our teams have accomplished some amazing feats. This includes the attendance of five USATF National Championship Meets. At the beginning of every Cross Country season we find ourselves asking the same question you do, “why can’t some of these kids just run a little bit over the summer?” The answer to this question has eluded us until now, and we would like to share it with you and your runners… “Motivation”

Young runners have the hardest time getting out the door when they have to train by themselves. This is precisely why they will train very hard for you at practice yet barely run during the summer and other off time. Our solution to this is our name, the Advanced Cross Country Camp! This Cross Country running day camp is specifically geared for middle school students only.

Our philosophy for this camp is simple... If the runners have fun running, they will start to incorporate more running into their off season time hence coming out in September more fit and ready to train more seriously. Cross Country season for us is usually about one month long, how can we possibly expect to get our athletes to run to their potential in one month. This camp experience will get them running in the middle of August this will help them lengthen their base training by two to three full weeks! The difference will be monumental later on in October.

Our camp is modeled after a high school running camp with many of the same things for the runners that high school camps offer. With two daily runs, two daily speakers and 100+ other runners to share their time with, success is almost guaranteed! During the days at our camp, we will also have a lot of fun! With an Olympic size pool, Camp Olympics, and a week ending barbeque among a few things, the runners are sure to have a blast!

The camp will run from August 17^th through August 21st, 2008. The camp will be held at Quail Hill Scout Reservation in Manalapan, NJ. The trails there are numerous and good for beginning runners through the elite. The camp will run from 8:00- 4:00 for five days. The cost is $295.00 for the week this will include daily snacks, a runners back pack, water bottle, and a beautiful Advanced Cross Country T-shirt! Full details are on the Registration page!

We invite you to tour our web site to get more acclimated with our camp. If you have any questions what-so-ever, we urge you to contact us at the email links that can be found at the bottom of the page. We would be happy to personally answer ANY questions that you may have! Thank you for your time!

Our camp is open to any runner entering Grades 6-8 this September. If you are heading to High School in September we highly recommend,
