Like the previous post, but this one is for Juniors. (Technically, "juniors" in 2009 are those who are 17 and younger on December 31, 2008, but I don't know how/if they'll be drawing the age line.) This is a single two-day camp, with an off-day between the two camp days.

Q: How will this camp benefit me as a road cyclist and racer?
A: The participants of Super Squadra Scouting Camp will gain insight into every facet of road cycling and racing—from diet and nutrition to handling skills and team tactics.
Q: Is the Super Squadra Scouting Camp a tryout for the team?
A: The purpose of the Super Squadra Scouting Camp is to strengthen the cycling community as a whole—to help develop good cyclists into great cyclists. We are not immediately looking to add riders to our roster nor are we looking to recruit racers from other teams. We look forward to familiarizing ourselves with camp participants, learning their strengths and weaknesses, and offering them valuable feedback.
Q: What if I can't attend all of the Super Squadra Scouting Camp activities?
A: Super Squadra Scouting Camp participants may attend any portion of the camp. Of course, we strongly encourage full participation. Each day will offer different opportunities for cyclists to improve their fitness, racing knowledge, and skill.
