Camp Costs.
The
tuition the CMP charges for these camps does not begin to cover the
total cost of operating the camps; the CMP subsidizes the camp
program through its budget for the camps. The tuition for camps was
increased in 2007. This rate was fixed so that further increases
would not be necessary in 2008-2010. These fees cover, in part,
materials, lunch, snacks and additional fun activities outside of
camp sessions.
The 2010 Summer
Camp Fees are as follows:
$225
(athlete)
$30 (adult) for Three-Position Air Rifle Camps
$150 (athlete) $30 (adult) for CMP/AMU
Advanced Smallbore Camp
$100 (athlete)
$30 (adult) for Western Regional Outreach Clinics
Note: $30
Deposit required for every participant (Adult Leaders and Athletes)
Who May Attend?
CMP Junior Three Position Air Rifle Camps are for school-age junior
shooters with three-position air rifle competition experience.
Athletes should have completed basic rifle marksmanship training and
at least one season of three-position competition shooting. CMP
camps are designed for students who will be in grades 9 through 12
during the coming school year; admission of athletes who have not
yet reached high school will be at the discretion of the Camp
Director. There is no minimum score requirement for the weeklong
camps--CMP camps are open to all athletes who want to improve their
rifle marksmanship and competition skills. The CMP-AMU Advanced
Smallbore Camp requires that prerequisites be met before
athletes are admitted to the camp. Prerequisite are outlined on the
CMP-AMU Advanced Smallbore Camp Information Page, which is linked in
the camp listings above. Shooters of all skill levels who have
attended previous years’ camps achieved remarkable improvements in
their performances and scores.
Adult Leaders.
An
important feature of the CMP Camp format is the emphasis on athletes
and adult leaders learning together. At least one adult leader
(coach, team or club leader, parent, etc.) must accompany each
athlete or group of athletes who attend. Adult leaders are
encouraged to attend all instruction and coaching sessions with
their athletes. Sessions specifically covering coaching topics will
be held for interested adults. Adult leaders are also responsible
for providing transportation for their campers.
Housing and meals.
All
2010 camps are commuter only, though a list of local
accommodations is included with the information page for each camp.
Lunch will be provided (Tuesday-Thursday) at all camps. Snacks and
water are also provided at all camps.
Transportation.
CMP does
not provide transportation to the camp location. Camp participants
must arrange their own transportation to the site of the camp.
Adult leaders are expected to provide local transportation to and
from the range for the athletes they bring.
Equipment.
Athletes
must bring their own shooting equipment as well as appropriate
clothing for light physical training sessions. Athletes may bring
either precision or sporter class rifles and equipment to the
camps. Camp Perry and Anniston ranges use electronic targets so
spotting scopes are not needed. Fort Benning also offers
electronic targets, but it is recommended to bring a spotting scope
for instructional activities at the advanced camp. Prone mats will
be provided at all ranges, and outside prone mats will not be
allowed. Shooters will need slings and tools for making minor rifle
adjustments. Precision shooters need to bring precision shooting
clothes. Sporter shooters are strongly encouraged to bring at least
one sweatshirt and a glove. CO2 and compressed air will be
provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own fill
adapters. Also athletic shoes and clothing are suggested for each
day.
Training Groups.
Athletes will be divided into training groups and assigned a
specific firing point throughout the camp. Each training group will
be under the direction of a counselor who is a varsity collegiate
rifle team member. Groups will work together for the whole camp.
Typical Training Day.
Each
training day starts with light warm-up and stretching exercises
followed by several hours of short presentations and range firing or
other training exercises. The training day will include physical
exercise designed to introduce sport specific options for physical
training.
Instructional Topics.
The camp
schedule includes a variety of instructional topics and activities
designed to help the participant develop the tools necessary to
excel as a three-position air rifle shooter. Participants will
learn how to: construct stable and balanced prone, standing, and
kneeling positions, personally tune their positions through an
"inner position" approach, effectively analyze performance and
training, set effective goals, control anxiety and self-talk,
improve confidence, train efficiently, optimize the performance of
their rifle and equipment, understand safety and rules, design a
physical training program, shoot finals, and optimize their
performance in competitions.
Camp Instructors.
Sommer
Wood will serve as Camp Director and chief instructor. Wood is a
six-year veteran of the CMP Summer Camp Program, and is the CMP’s
Coordinator of Junior Camps and Clinics. She is also a graduate of
Clemson University where she competed on the Clemson Air Rifle Team.
Keegan Singleton will assist Wood; he is entering his forth-year
with the camp program, and served as the camp gunsmith in 2008 and
2009. He is currently a member of the University of Memphis Rifle
Team. In addition the camps will be visited each week by guest
speakers who have Olympic and National Team backgrounds, these guest
will speak to the campers about their personal experiences and the
qualities that make a champion. Completing the camp staff will be a
group of accomplished college rifle team members who will serve as
Camp Counselors. One counselor is assigned to each group of camp
athletes.
End-of-Camp Competition.
A formal
competition (3x20 plus final) will be conducted on the last day of
each camp. Medals will be awarded for both sporter and precision
classes after each camp competition. The End-Of-Camp Competitions
for all three-position air rifle camps also are part of a combined
CMP Cup Match where the top 10% of all sporter class
and the top 10% of all precision class competitors earn credit
points towards the prestigious Junior Distinguished Badge.
Code of Conduct:
Each
participant must agree to abide by and sign a code of conduct at the
beginning of camp. Violations of the code may result in expulsion
from the camp and loss of fees paid. This includes any behavior
that is disruptive to the camp-learning environment.
Award Ceremony and Graduation.
Each
camp concludes with a graduation ceremony following the finals.
Participants will be awarded a distinctive camp t-shirt and
certificate at this ceremony.
