I would love to but I can't. I promise you that you will like the atmosphere. The coaches are cool guys. One of the coaches son is a senior in HS. He went 16' 1" as a junior, He usually is hanging out there. The have a ridiculous amount of poles that you can borrow to vault on.

You could always shoot an e-mail to the coach Tim Winder and ask him about the camp. I am sure he would respond to you.

This camp is known for having great vaulters come through it regardless of age. The coach running the camp has a highschool son who can out jump some college guys. :yes:

I'm a little late with this, but for next year ... University of Chicago hosts a meet I forget what it is called and the site right now.

Also, Tim Johnson runs a pv club year round. www.vaultchicago .com
