Difficulties

Well I looked into the pricing of cabins at Lake Wilson and I have decided to instead buy tents for the campers and have them sleep in those. It's summer anyways what's wrong with sleeping outside?

My insurance will be WestPoint Insurance, they specialize in running camps and will have everyone fully covered. It comes at a price although so I am raising my camp price to $75.

What I will feed them is mostly carbs. Pretty much pasta or anything else good for runners. I will give them some sweets but not too much. Probably about one small candy bar a day. A lot of granola bars, fruits, veggies, bread, drinks with electrolytes in them and a lot of water. Pasta will be dinner everyday but just in different versions. Chicken Alfredo, Spaghetti, Raviolis, Lasagna, Cheesy Pasta etc. I will also give them availabilities to grab a granola bar or a fruit whenever they feel they need one.

I will also buy Pedialyte for the campers with cramps and probably me too. For lunches I could do simple PB and J's or anything simple that is good for the kids. 

I could talk to the kids at the middle school and high school about my camp to see if anyone was interested in it.

For cooking I could rent out one cabin only and use that one to cook and have a special chill place for the workers.

Starting the preparation

I figured it was time to make a poster so I used Canvas' website to create mine and I personally think it worked out great.



I am thinking about upping the price because I am feeding these kids for a whole week and I don't know if that will work unless I buy food in large quantities for every camper. I would also give the kids fundraisers to go and try to raise money to make this easier for them and I could give them a free shirt for doing so. 

I got another idea to use up some of our time! I could have the kids go fishing if they want and whoever doesn't just have some free time to hang out with the other campers. I will have these kids run twice a day and give them some free time every day to make my day and my assistants days easier. I think right now I have a pretty full schedule and can now focus on prices of items such as resting areas, food, and all other expenses. 

I think this is gonna work out fine and I could see this as a real opportunity to present to a coach or maybe run this myself someday. It is a great way to take kids out in the nature and show them it while also preparing for cross country.
