Because of the overwhelming popularity of our camp, we continue to host a second week. With the second week, we continue to add many new staff members and guest speakers. These additional speakers enable return campers and second week campers the opportunity to attend alternative classroom sessions. With the addition of these new staffers, it is impossible to list all of our speakers. Below is a list of past speakers/staff members that is typical of the type of speakers/staff members that will attend the camp.

Our staff will include several outstanding athletes and coaches. Those previously listed have made strong commitments to the camp, however, their participation is dependent upon their health and racing opportunities. We expect several of our former staff members to return this summer. Past staff members include:
