    From Boris Granovskiy, US Mid-Atlantic Junior Regional Coach...

    Calling all US juniors! 

    This is information about a regional junior training camp that will be held in Prince William Forest Park just south of Washington, DC, on February 14-15, 2015. The camp is organized by the Mid-Atlantic Junior Regional Team in conjunction with Quantico Orienteering Club. 

    Here is the schedule for the camp (I will send out detailed instructions for each exercise to camp participants closer to the camp. This is just the general information): 

    Saturday, Feb 14

    11:00am - 1:00pm: Multi-technique exercise designed by multiple World Orienteering Champion Thierry Gueorgioufrom France.

    1:00 - 2:30pm: Lunch

    You can participate in as many or as few exercises as you want. There will be beginner, intermediate, and advancedoptions for each exercise, and we can decide together what is best for you for each session. 

    Housing is available at the cabins in Prince William Forest Park for the whole weekend. ($10) 

    Meals (Saturday lunch and dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch) will be provided by Florence and Tom Nolan of QOC. ($10 for the weekend) 

    Online registration for the camp ($10 per junior) will soon be up on QOC's website. I will post the link once it's live. 

    All parents and coaches are welcome to participate in all the exercises. 

    Please let me know as soon as you can,  if you are planning on coming, and for how much of the camp, by emailing me:boris AT post.harvard.edu. . 

    I encourage all of you to participate - this is the best local training opportunity you will have this spring!
