In an attempt to become accredited as a "Run Camp University," Borgess Run Camp has established its first series of 400-level courses for peer review."Phoenix has a University. Sports Center has a University. Heck, I've even heard that Central Michigan has a University," said Chris Crowell, Run Camp co-founder, in explaining the pursuit.

"This has been a dream of ours as we've attempted to elevate our status from a rag-tag collection of ne'er-do-wells to runners who have every right to be snobs."
The Council of International Run Camp University Systems (CIRCUS) is reviewing the "Psychological Warfare" course material currently being offered at camp in collaboration with Nike's Just-Do-It University.
"These courses had their origins in camp clinics on How To Brag, Why People Make Excuses, and How To Say No and Still Be Loved," Crowell explained. Course material includes ways to silence people on Facebook, methods of dealing with sibling rivalries and the immensely popular I Know You're On My Team, Dude, But This Is The Only Time I Have To Be Alone!
If accreditation comes through, Run Camp University officials will be seeking tenure and pay raises, raising tuition, looking to convert part of Fontbonne Manor at Nazareth to a student union building and joining a conference, presumably the Big East. "Mostly, though, we just need the status," admitted Crowell.
Given the camp's rich tradition with rodents, mascot selection is expected to be limited.
