A massive 82 juniors and adults enjoyed a school holiday development camp in the state's central west last week.
Families from as far away as Coffs Harbour and the ACT gathered at Wyangala Dam and Roseberg State Forest for four days of top-class training under the guidance of NSW Junior Squad coach Rob Bennett.
First-time camp attendee Nick Stanley, 13 (Garingal) said the camp was "really really good" and the best thing he learnt was "compass bearings and handrails".

Entering using Eventor helps organisers gather contact information, provides contactless entry and helps in social distancing at the event.
This Sunday there are events on in four locations - Mosman, Wagga, Newcastle and Mittagong - with differing closing dates & time for entry.

- Last Updated: Tuesday, 07 July 2020 17:27
Plans are progressing for the Australian MTBO Champs in the Newcastle region in September.
Organisers are keeping tabs on all the latest covid developments - and things may well change in the next 10 weeks - but in the meantime they have asked people to please pre-enter ASAP on Eventor.
Pre-entry is free, but not official - merely an indication of your intention to participate so they have an idea of numbers. Once you hit 'Save' your pre-entry is recorded.
An updated info flyer has also been released. Official entry will open in mid-August.
Rumbal in the jungle signals our return

We're back, baby!
And just a little bit tired after a thorought workout at Rumbalara Reserve on the Central Coast on Sunday morning in our first official event since the covid lockdown on a cool, clear winter's day.
Rumbalara is a lovely pocket of bushland just behind Gosford... but it is oh so steep!
A tough reintroduction that resembled boot camp more than a cross country run, it was great to see people making the trek from Sydney, Newcastle and even the ACT.
Former Olympic marathoner Martin Dent blitzed the 3.9km Hard course in 41m30s, son Connor took out the Easy and Newcastle teen Erika Enderby won the Moderate.
It's so good to be back in the forest! Thanks to first-time setter Ivan Kent and hosts Central Coast. Their next event is Sunday August 9 at Kincumber Mountain Reserve.
Live results can be found here.
