LORAS COLLEGE
Cross Country Team Camp
July 20-24, 2008
CAMP GOAL
The goal of the Loras Cross Country TEAM Camp is to help runners’ grades 7-12 have a significant understanding of being a part of a great cross country TEAM. Cross Country is the ultimate team sport and at the Loras Cross Country TEAM Camp, we will emphasize the TEAM concept by having the runners work together throughout the camp within their team in many different dynamics including enthusiasm & spirit, games, contests, competitions and even a true cross country TEAM race. Each camper will leave the camp having a much better understanding of what it takes to be a part of and help develop a better TEAM. By focusing on the TEAM aspect, they will make themselves better runners and get more out of their experience as a TEAM oriented distance runner.
“Great runners are made in the summer…Great Teams are made in the fall.”
