Join fellow athlete-adventurers for fabulous outdoor adventures in beautiful, one-of-a-kind California locations!

CORPScamps are designed as five-day endurance sports adventure vacations. The activities are challenging, but not insane. They can be a challenge in their own right for new endurance athletes, or they can be an outstanding training opportunity for accomplished endurance athletes looking to take things to a new level. The camps are also designed as learning opportunities, with the opportunity to explore new places, get personalized coaching (if so desired), and balance out one's fitness with yoga, hiking, and other cross-training activities. The camps also provide a great introduction to yoga for those who haven't done it before.

For couples looking for an active vacation they can both enjoy, CORPScamps are ideal because participants go at their own pace and, for those who dont want tackle the main activities each day, there are lots of less strenuous things to do in each location.

Every activity is optional, though; participants are free to "check out any time you like" if they want a break or extra rest or private time.

Please understand that CORPScamps are designed as a multi-day lifestyle adventure - five days of outdoor adventure in an otherworldly place - and each camp is only as difficult as YOU want it to be!

If you love cycling - or great winter endurance sports - and want to get away from it all and enjoy the company, and insights, of fellow athlete-adventurers, then you will enjoy CORPScamp! More info at http://www.adventurecorps.com

Furnace Creek 508™, "The toughest 48 hours in sport," has been an AdventureCORPS event held annually in October in Death Valley and the Mojave Desert since 1990, but it dates back to 1983 under the directorship of John Marino, founder of the Great American Bicycle Race and the Race Across America (RAAM). This 508 mile bicycle race - "Where the West is Won!" - is revered the world over for its epic mountain vistas, stark desert scenery, desolate roads, and its reputation as one of the toughest but most gratifying endurance challenges available, bar none. Solo, tandem, and relay divisions are offered in this exciting and unusual bicycle race. 48 hour time limit. 35,000 feet of elevation gain. Our 26th anniversary edition will be held in October, 2009.
