 Camperships increased - due to a very generous donation received this month from a former runner and his family, the cross country camperships for this summer have been increased from $75 to $100 per runner. Runners should check the requirements for these camperships below and make sure to submit their proof of registration by June 9th. And many thanks to the former runner, who wished to be recognized as a "proud alumnus" of the program, and his family for their continued support of the cross country program.
Harriers' Club to sponsor Camperships - The Baldwinsville Harriers Cross Country Club will offer $75 camperships for boys who are planning on attending cross country camp next summer. To qualify athletes must be entering grades 9 through 12 in September, 2008. They must also have participated in the Baldwinsville cross country program for at least one year.

Proof of registration must be submitted prior to June 9, 2008 in order to qualify for a campership.
Registration for Aim High Camp opened on December 1st and in the past filled up quickly. Anyone who is planning on attending there next summer should register as soon as possible..
