FAQ

  • Where do I sleep if I choose the day camper option?

    The day camp option was designed for local participants and/or student-athletes whose family want to come enjoy a vacation to San Luis Obispo as well. Some day campers will attend camp from 8am-4pm and then return home for dinner while others will enjoy the rest of the evening with their family and join them in the hotel/AirBNB overnight.

  • Which dorms will campers stay in?

    Overnight campers will stay in our Poly Canyon Village dorms. The dorms are apartment style with 4 single bedrooms conjoined by a living space that includes a full kitchen and 2 shared bathrooms. Participants will need to bring their own towels and bedding.

  • Who will the counselors be?

    Current student-athletes and coaches from Cal Poly Cross Country will serve as the counselors for camp. We will maintain a minimum camper:counselor ratio of 10:1 and aim to have equal amounts of male and female counselors.

  • How many spots are available?

    We anticipate allowing a total of 100 high school student-athletes to attend Central Coast Running Camp. We’ll attempt to keep the day:overnight camper ratio about even, meaning there are roughly 50 spots for day and 50 for overnight.

  • How much will I be running?

    On our registration form, you’ll be asked for your weekly mileage during the week of camp. We‘ll use this info to organize the camp into groups of similar ability levels and have several options for how many miles any given run will be.

  • Will I be able to walk around campus?

    Most of our runs will be around campus and the surrounding trails. Campers will be able to see all parts of campus through the running they do. Outside of that, we will have some designated times to go to the bookstore or other specified areas. However, we will not allow campers free time to explore campus unsupervised.

  • What ages are allowed to attend?

    Camp is for high school student-athletes. If you’re entering the 9th-12th grade during the 2025-26 academic year, you’re welcome to join us!

  • Are there discounts for high school teams?

    We do not have any discounts being offered this year although it’s something we will consider in the future. If you have specific questions about this, please reach out.

  • Is there a cancellation policy?

    To be eligible for a refund, cancellation must be made over 15 days prior to camp. Inside of that timeframe, refunds will not be possible.
