UQAM offers qualified student athletes recruitment bursaries and the opportunity to apply for a number of UQAM bursaries after completing their rookie year. Each August before the start of the school year, the cross country team takes part in a training camp. Along with running it's a great opportunity to help bond the team and orient new team members. Past training camp locations include Mt. Tremblant and the Eastern Townships.
