Anyone know of any good track camps in the North East, preferably one that has a focus for jumpers?

I have gone to Dick Fosbury Track Camp at Bowdoin the past two years and has proven really helpful. I strongly recommend it.

Don't let the title throw you off but:

Winged Foot Running Camp (http://www.wingfootxc.com/)

They get kids from all over the nation. Last year I had to pick someone up from the airport from Chicago.

Some top names that go there that come to my head quickly are:
Lauren Biscardi- Nat'l indoor champ in 2004
Mary Saxter- NYS PV Champ (may have been nat'l not sure)
Gabriella Baiter - She was on the front page about a month back after having a monster indoor season.

Amazing coaches, amazing counselors, amazing campers.
Hands down best week of the summer.
PM me for more details

Is there long/triple jump pit any good, from the pictures it looks overgrown with grass and stuff.

I could be wrong on this, but I talked with one of the jumpers who goes there (I'm a distance runner but been going to the camp for 5+ years now) but he said the pits are in great shape. They train at a high school that is a short drive from the camp. The pits are in great condition and are keep that way all week but more importantly the staff is second to none
