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!

This year I attended the Soaring Society of Boulder's camp in Dalhart,
TX and had a really good time. *You might keep an eye on their club
website and get in contact with some of their members to find out when
they will be back next year. *Usually late June I think.

And I'm with you, camps are where it is at. I love travelling with my
glider. *They are great warm ups for going to contests too. *I just
got back from the Region 10 contest and the prep and organization
required from attending Dalhart and other long weekend camps over the
last few years made it very easy to get ready for the contest.

ah and thinking more about your post i'm now thinking you may be
looking for more of a cross country training camp, in which case
Dalhart probably isn't the best fit for you, it is more of a bring
your single seater and have fun going XC over landable terrain sort of
camp.
