PV Camps

[Kails21]

I'm looking at camps for next summer, and I was just wondering which camps everyone thinks are the best. Right now I'm looking at Rick Attig’s POLE VAULT UNIVERSITY in Kansas. Has anyone on here been to this camp or heard anything about it? Or like to tell me about your experiences at other camps? Then I can save my money over the winter.
If you were wondering, right now I'm a Junior in high school, and my PR is 8'6".

My favorite pole vault camp, well the only one I have been to, is Jan Johnson's Skyjumpers camp. It is so much fun, and Jan has the best sense of humor. I've been to the summer one, and you have a blast. The website is www.skyjumpers.com. I don't know where your from, but the one that I think is the best is the camp he has during July at his house in San Luis Obispo, CA. He has 4 pole vault pits, and about 3 coaches at each pit. He also has so many drills you can do. It is so much fun! You would probably go as a camper person, and stay in the hotel with the group, and then there are vans that take you to the camp every day. Lilke I said billions of times, it is so much fun, and laid back. You can also go surfing, and there is a halfpipe there also. People from all over go to this camp, including people from outside of the country! It's just a blast, and I'm already saving my $ for next year! If you were to go to the camp I was talking about, and do the hotel and all of that, which is included in the price, it is about $420, but that includes the camp, the hotel, all the food, (a Chinese buffet we go to one night) surfing, everything! I recommend this one, because it is so much fun. Well, I could go on and on, but I'll stop there! lol (finally) Hope to hear what you have to say!-Ashley

Jan Johnson hosts camps in your area and I think Don Hood also has a camp up your way.

I went to Attig's camp when he was in Nebraska. It would have been a great camp if there wern't 150 people there and it rained 2 out of the 4 days.

Bell Athletics is amazing, but a little pricey. Itll pay off though

Yes! I want to go to Bell Athletics sooo bad! The only thing is, is that I live in CA!

I live in VA, and had to save up for a while, but when I finally got there it was worth it

Jan Johnson will be in the suburbs of Chicago at Maine South HS, Park Ridge, Illinois Feb 17-18, 2007. I think the cost is around a $135 but don't quote me on that number. Send me an e-mail and I will send you the details when they become available.

This is a great way to kick off the season. Its indoor with four pits in Maine South's Field House.

And, its about two and half hours from Madison.
