High Altitude Camp

We returned today from our 3-day high altitude camp on Mt. Timpanogos. We had 30 boys and 20 girls go, which is largest group ever by 15 people.
We would like to thank the coaches, chaperones, and drivers who helped make this a great experience for the athletes.
On Tuesday, we got to camp at 1:30 for set up and then ran to Scout Falls.

Dinner was Dutch Oven Mexican and Dutch Oven Cake. We did a campfire program where everybody introduced themselves (lots of rookies).

Wednesday morning was pancakes and then our long run up from Tibble Fork Reservoir - around 35 min. up, and then faster back.

After the run, we all cooled off in the American Fork River above the reservoir.

Some of the youngsters had some fun with a mud fight.

Lunch was followed by games and then a 5 PM recovery run on the Great Western Trail.
Dinner was Bruno's famous dutch oven Caveman Stew and Kevin's dutch oven cherry chocolate cake.
Our campfire program had the team captains and coaches talk about the season ahead and our team goals.

This morning saw a french toast breakfast and then camp relays. Nafe's team scored a very narrow victory over Austin's team.

After lunch and clean up, we had ice cold watermelon and headed back to AFHS.
Everybody had an AWESOME time, and I only have two unclaimed hoodies left in the back of my truck.

Tomorrow morning we will be going to Alpine to run to Sliding Rock.
