Hey Everyone,
My name is Colin Baker and if you look above you can see that I am part of the staff at our first annual camp. I am very excited about starting this and I think it will be a great opportunity for all skill levels to come learn about the sport of track and field and have fun. I could talk forever about why I think this camp will be great and why I love track and field/XC, but I wanted to post on here to let you know that if you have any questions you can post them on here and I will check back regularly to answer them or if you have more of an individualized question feel free to email me at runningco.xc.track.camp@gmail.com or Dave at the email in the flyer.

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone who came out this year for making the first annual Haddonfield Running Company Summer Track and XC camp a success. I had a great time working with all of the kids and I hope they had a great time and learned about the sport. I would really enjoy hearing from anyone at runningco.xc.track.camp@gmail.com with how everyone is doing or if you have any questions. We will try to get the results and pictures up as soon as possible. Also we will post any news about next years camp on the website as well and hopefully we will see a lot of you back next year. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
Colin
