★★★★★Kimberly PforterMy son Ethan Pforter attended camp this year for the first time. We are from upstate NY and heard about this camp from posts that one of our friends Nicole who is a camp counselor had shared on FB. This camp was handled so beautifully and even though it was his first sleep away camping that he's ever done. The camp did constant updates on Facebook and Instagram with so many pictures, I felt so informed and in the know about everything. Many great memories, awesome training and new friends!
★★★★★Sara StedmanMy son who is going to be a sophomore went to camp for the first time last week. He absolutely loved it and said he wants to go again next year. (He has never been away to a camp, is usually a homebody, and is relatively introverted) There were so many activities that they did for the campers besides just running. I’m so happy my son made the decision to go and will definitely be sending him again next year. He talked my ear off when he got home about all the things they did and different stories about all the fun he had.
★★★★★galaxy manMy son loved Blue Mountain Cross Country camp. It was his first sleep away came as a 7th grader, and they even called the first night to let me know they were changing his running group to make him happier. He could not stop talking about it when he got home. He is also seeing the results in this fall’s modified team.
★★★★★Christopher DesiderioI went to blue mountain this year as a Junior and it was one of the coolest experiences ever! Absolutely amazing culture, super kind and knowledgeable staff and helped me get in to shape for the season real quick! My only regret is I did not find it sooner. Can’t wait for BMXC2023!!!!!
★★★★★Susan ORourkeCross-country camp for anyone who wants to learn to love running and become a better competitor! This year, most of our team came to Blue Mountain. It is my two daughters' favorite week of the summer! Expertly run--from the moment you sign up, coordination of the busses, schedule for the camp, inspiring running group leaders, extra-curricular activities (color run, water sports, dance, slip 'n slide), and plentiful food. Guest speakers include Olympians, professional runners, nutritionists, etc. Camp pictures and social media posts give parents a glimpse of all the fun. Incredible experience! Attendees become the runners to watch at the section and state level. Can't recommend it enough!!
