Our camp location may not be quite as posh as the Resort at Paws Up (right next door), but it’s the company you camp with that makes the adventure meaningful and memorable. Every Bengal runner is expected to attend camp. This is a great way to chart our course for the season and to get to know each other, whether eating, running, star-gazing, collaborating on dances, singing karaoke, playing games, or making bracelets.
