Elevation by Determination Camp
Since 1987, Coach Matt Kolb has helped recruit and organize various vaulting camps including the Don Hood World Class Pole Vault Camps, Jan Johnson's Sky Jumpers Vault Camps and the UCS Vault Camp at West Point, New York. Coach Kolb has now been bringing his pole vaulting knowledge, athletic ability and coaching expertise together to start the Elevation by Determination Camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato for the past seven years.
