March SC Camp 2011

[Chris Helwig]

Cabins have been booked for training camp for next year.

Next year will be a full 8 day camp checking in on Saturday March 12th and checking out on Sunday March 20th. Next year will be one big camp, the week we have booked is the March Break week of 2011 for most people.

Below are the details for 2011 Camp:

Check in is on Saturday March 12th, Check out is on Sunday March 20th

If you can't do all the days you can arrive late or leave early depending on your schedule. The cabins are booked for the entire time, so the rate is set.

Camp is at Table Rock State Park which is in the Northwest corner of South Carolina. The closest city is Greenville which is about 35 minutes by Car.

We stay in heated cabins. They are fully furnished with full kitchens and bathrooms with showers. Towels and Linens are supplied. Sleeping arrangements are double beds, bunk beds and pull out couches.

Cabin 12 that has the bunk beds is booked for next year and has been fully renovated.

There will be 3 groups riding on most days based on ability. Rides will vary between 3-4.5 hours except for recovery days. Each group will have a professional designated ride leader. There will be detailed training and route planning. The multiple groups will allow athletes of all levels to find a group that suits their needs.

Closer to the date I will organize carpools and send out in depth details including maps and directions, what to bring, cabins and sleeping arrangements, Camp Itenerary, Training Plan, Health Insurance Info and Waiver Form

Prices will be based upon which sleeping arrangement you want.

Following are the number of beds and the costs:

4 pullout spots $425 for clients, $475 for non clients
7 Double Beds $700 for clients, $800 for non clients
6 Bunk Bed spots $475 for clients, $525 for non clients

*Note $700 and $800 is the total rate for the bed i.e. if 2 people share the bed the total cost for both is $700 or $800, not $700 or $800 each.

All prices are in Canadian dollars and include tax.

The cabins we have booked are Cabin 12 which has 1 double bed, 6 bunk spots and 1 pullout. We also have Cabin 4, 5 and 6 all of which have two bedrooms each with a double bed and a pullout. Those that book early can request a certain cabin.

Janice and the kids will be coming down and we will be staying in Cabin 8, but there will not be a cooking option. Janice can certainly help other cabins out with directions to the Grocery Store meal ideas etc. Each cabin will work together to prep their meals.

This year some cabins also did meal prep sharing where cabins would take turns making meals for each other. This way you only have to make dinner every other night. This worked very well.

Camp spots are on a first come first served basis. Camp fee is fully refundable until December 1st 2010. The camp gets more and more popular, I expect spots will fill up fairly quickly. Camp spots are reserved once payment is received in full. Payment by cheque is preferable. Make cheques payable to Coach Chris.ca. Cheques can be mailed to:

Coach Chris.ca

$100-$125 for your share of the groceries
$75-$100 Share of Gas to and from SC
$50-$75 Spending money for trips into town

To reserve your spot send payment per the instructions above.

The season is winding down, Fall will be upon us before we know. I expect camp bookings in the Fall to start filling things up, so if you are thinking about booking for next year let me know. chris@coachchris.ca

Ryan Phelps is coming to Camp next year and has a Massage Therapist connection that is interested in coming to camp.

I know I would definately book at least a couple sessions over the week, the year we had Suzette come down and do RMT it was sooo nice after a long ride for recovery.

Post here if you would be interested in doing some RMT over the camp week or email me chris@coachchris.ca
