Default XC Soaring camps

Looking for recommendations/ advice wrt attending some of the xc camps
put on by various organizations/clubs in the USA.

My time schedule is such that weekend club flying is not going to get my
skills level to where I want it to be in the time frame I'm dealing
with, so am looking for an "immersion" type of experience to truncate
the process.

I'm aware of the program out at Air Sailing, feedback on it would be
appreciated and suggestions or reviews of other sites would also be
appreciated.

A Central US location would be a bonus to keep road time to a minimum
from my Texas residence.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There are numerous X-C cross country flying camps in Europe at
reasonable prices. If you're you looking at spending $3 grand for 5
days of duo discus flying; you're better of going to places like
St.Auban in France, including the reasonably priced airfare 7 days of
flying there will be still cheaper. And on the off days there is whole
lot to see... You can also view charter link on the segelflug.de /
kleinanzeigen tab. On average you can get a Duo cross country flying
at 200 Euro per day, unlimited hours.

Cheers,
