After an easy day Tuesday, things got harder and higher as the campers and many of the counselors made the epic climb up the mountain. Wednesday started very early. We all boarded the buses and made the trek towards Mountain Lake Hill. Once we had arrived there we all began our active stretches and got ready to run.
There were three groups that went up the mountains, each going a different distance. The first to go was the 2.5 miles group, the second was the 4.5 miles group, and the final was the 6.5 miles group being timed up the mountain and racing for some hardware and t-shirts.
After this very hard run and following awesome photo opportunity at the lookout atop the mountain, the campers boarded the bus for a nice hike to Cascades. It was a 2 mile hike to the cascades where the campers and anyone else had the great chance to ice their legs and take a breather after a very long and tough run. Check out those pics and more below by clicking the link or photo.
Wednesday was really non-stop as the second the buses got back we had a ton of great lectures to go to sandwiched in between by a nice dinner at Dietrich. Some of the awesome lecturers were: Dr. Finn Pincus, Dr. Mina DeMarco, Coach James DeMaroc, Coach Brad Hunt, Coach Michael Cox, Coach Mike Esposito, Dan King, and many counselors too.
After that very long and tough day everyone including campers, counselors, and basically anyone else needed a nice rest. That is exactly what Thursday was. Thursday featured a ton of free time and great opportunities to meet one-on-one with each of the campers' counselors and to ball out.
Thursday also had a great mix of cross training activities as well. Check out some of the pictures from yoga, pilates, and spin class below too.
