Haha, yeah, I wanted to go...but the camp I want to go to has 2 sessions [Session I, June 21 - July 18 and Session II, June 28 - July 25] both of which run during that time period. :( [If I get in, that is.]
So if it's that weekend I probably can't go...or any other time in July for that matter, unless it's the 24th/25th and I get 1st session somewhere...ack. {You don't choose which session.}
THIS SUMMER IS GETTING CONFUSING!
I can't wait until April.
Because that's when I get the letter saying whether I got in or not.

If you are going to go to two... main two being Boone with Alan and Vaulthouse with Morell. I would definetly go to Boone first and then Vaulthouse the last session of the summer. Alan does a really good job working on running technique and a lot of simple but productive drills that will get you ready to jump and run propperly. But it has a lot of running involved so you are going to be sore and tiard afterwards from basicaly two days of sprint workouts (may not have been that bad, i might have just been really out of shape). Then this will give you plenty of time to rest and work on Alan's drills through the summer befor you use them in a real vault. Then with Vaulthouse at the end of the summer you can go to that rested up, in better shape, and with a lot better take off. Here you can incorperate what you learned from your first camp in to full vaults on a very large selection of poles. (you also want to be in better shape going into vaulthouse because there are two days of vaulting, running, and drills, and on day two if you were not ready going into it you will be struggling to walk).

I actually did vaulthouse LAST year...that's how I know about it.
Unfortunately, chances are, if they have the same dates as last year, one of my 2 non-vault camps ends about 2 weeks from the end of break...if that. So I don't think I'll have a chance to go the last session.
Last year, I went towards the beginnning.

I would love to do the one in Boone, but I don't know when/where the other camp is going to be until April 3rd [that's when they're sending out acceptance/rejection letters]

Aww man...I'm at a DIFFERENT camp during that period! :( July 26-Aug 15, or something like that.
Drats.
And I desperately need the help, lol...I've done some of the drills on B2B2, but I've totally messed them up...I can just feel it.

Haha...I was going to go to FCA camp and the sheet said it had PV...so I was like, "YES!" and then I checked and they're in Idaho and Michigan. So...not happening. :( And that would have been awesome! Vaulting AND getting closer w/ God...AWESOME. But they're not even down south...:(

That's during my other camp...
and, oddly enough, the gymnastics place that the Duke vaulters use is the gym my cousin goes to :)
