Counselors
Our counselors are current and former
members of the Cornell University track teams. They will spend time
with campers during track camp sessions, while dining in the University
residence halls. Close interaction with camp counselors, who are Division
I college runners, make Cornell’s track and field camp an excellent
opportunity for young runners and their high school teams to learn more
about their sport and prepare more effectively for the coming indoor
and outdoor track seasons.
