have a lot of team meetings; we expect you to start “buying” into what we are trying to do. You have to be
ready and you have to want to be there.Coaches will be challenging you!!
We run twice a day; the town is at 4900 ft. altitude already, and we go into the mountains many times to run.
we also hike, do some other things in the mountains/trails. We are in the pool most days. We also use a
local creek to soak/build our annual dam in..atthe end of camp we do a 10.6 mile run at 9600 feet. …fun..but
serious running and training. Hopkins, at this point is bringing their own bus as is Jmst; they will join us.
That means we have about45seats for Willmar kids; last year we had 32 Willmar kids who went. “IF” we
have more kids who want to go than we have seats, they will be assigned based on those who get deposits in
