I've taken both my sons to Earl Bells camp in Jonesboro, Ark. I would highly recommend them to any vaulter.

I am biased because I've coached at a few of tyhe Skyjumpers camps (Atascadero, CA; Kutztown, PA; and Chicago, IL). I think that these camps are fabulous. Tons of runway time and excellent coaching (not me necessarily but Jan gets terrific help). Jan does most of the demonstrations and explanations himself. The world class and national calibre vaulters who have trained under him using his system attest to the results that his instruction brings. Vaulters work hard and have enormous fun.

Checkout out www.skyjumpers.com. I see a camp in Dayton, OH June 13-16. I'm planning on being in Kutztown in July (8-11) with some of my high school vaulters.

Good luck. Camp is a great experience.

I went to Jan Johnsons camp last winter, Thought it was pretty good. I might be going to Earl Bells camp this summer. My parents really want me to, but I don't know if I want to travel that far. But I hear his camp is really good and I know a guy who jumped 17' after going there. We shall see.

Anyone else planning on going to Bell's camp this sumer?

i went to jan's last summer, ill have to agree with Russ as i am also probly biased. its a great camp with probly some of the craziest drills you'll never find elsewhere as well as more fun than anywhere else (c'mon where else do you get to go surfing for two days without paying any extra to rent a wet suit or board?) def. some good times, lots of fun, very helpful!

Almost positive I'm going to Bell's from the 22nd through the 25th of July.

What about you?

Haven't decided yet, but I was thinking around the middle of July. Probably go the 22nd-25th too, but haven't thought much about it.
