HQ2 Cross Country Mission:
Our Mission is to continue to be the best running camp in the nation by helping all runners have a fun and healthy experience with the sport of running! We strive to teach all aspects of running, leadership, team building, positive mental, emotional, and physical skills! We are passionate about education and developing people with World Class Instruction!
Performance
We develop athletes to be the best version of themselves through performance and life leadership! We offer a huge variety of fun activities and educational options! We will have professional coaches, athletes, NCAA coaches/athletes, and excellent guest speakers from across the country/world.
Tradition
Founded with John Osler in 1969, and continued with Kermit Ambrose in the 1970s-1990's, both Stu ('71) and Dr. Drew ('89), began as campers, then counselors, co-directors and directors. Many of our staff have been with us since the mid 1990's. We have both evolved with current science and remained stead-fast in the hard work traditions of Kermit. We still eliminate electronics and cell phones and focus on running, education, and relationships.
Leadership
We have an excellent staff who teach leadership skills in the dorms, in running and in our educational programs. We teach communication, teamwork and educational components. We teach many lifestyle choices to help athletes return to their teams as a better teammate and person. Our programming is designed to enhance all coaching philosophies. We teach mechanics, nutrition, sports psychology, goal setting, attitude, teamwork and other ideas that enhance all programs.
Outstanding Camp Activities: Outdoor Pool, Slip-n-slide, High Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, Game Room, 9-Square-In-The-Air, Disc Golf, Sand Volleyball, Basketball, GaGa Ball, Hiking Trails.

Camp Running Roots offers individuals or couples the opportunity to explore paths to improve health and enjoy life. Mike and Amorena Wojciakowski will act as your hosts at this three day, two night adventure where running, eating, and relaxing collide.
The stay is All-Inclusive and will offer such amenities as sunrise yoga, kayaking, and demonstrations on healthy snacking. Yes, some running will be done, but it will be the memories, not the miles you take away from this camp.
The event, hosted by RunGR, will be geared toward anyone seeking a throw back adventure in a peaceful, stress free environment.
If we have your attention and your curiosity has taken over, here are a few more key details about the camp.
*Camp accommodations will be in the Red and Green Cabins on the bank of the Pere Marquette River. The Red Cabin has three bedrooms with four beds in each, two full baths, washer/dryer, full kitchen, and a large screened in front porch on the river. The Green Cabin has two bedrooms with four beds each, full kitchen, and a large deck overlooking the river. We will do our best to accommodate campers in an arrangement that everyone is comfortable with. Bedding and linens will be provided.
*Located on 80 acres of wooded land, with over 6000 feet of river frontage (both sides), this is solitude at its best. The property will act as the backdrop as we tackle dirt roads and trails for our daily training runs.
*All meals, snacks, and drinks will be provided. The meals will be created with an emphasis on nutritious and delicious fuel for runners. We hope you will come away with a few new ideas to add to your recipe library. If you are a runner with dietary restrictions you will be prompted at the time you register to let us know. We will accommodate you to the best of our abilities and create a plan together that works for you.
*Campers will participate in two relaxed easy runs and a long run that take will take us on the North Country Trail. The setting is the perfect time to pick Coach's brain and learn a few new moves to make you a stronger, more efficient runner. During camp Coach Woj will also hold a few meetings on topics such as training theory, race preparation, goal setting and injury prevention. He is eager to answer any questions you may have. Coach Woj has a wealth of information after over three decades of coaching. Once you get him started he may not stop!
*As much as we love running, your time at camp won't be all fitness and information. Other highlights include: kayaking the Pere Marquette, open air sunrise yoga, relaxing with your camp mates at nightly happy hour and a trip to the famous Jones Ice Cream. And of course we couldn't call it camp with out a roaring campfire under the stars and a couple of smores.
We look forward to having you join us at Camp Running Roots.
