Camp Winthers!

Today by one o’clock this afternoon I, along with the majority of the Cross Country team, will be on a bus headed to Camp Winthers near Lake Tahoe. Every year a group of about 35 runners who dedicated themselves during the summer months are invited to spend the weekend at camp. Contrary to what others might believe, we do a lot of other activities besides run. We hike, swim, play games, perform skits/cheers, roast marshmallows, and simply just hang out with each other. Camp Winthers not only gives us a change of scenery and temperature, but also provides an opportunity to become better friends with our teammates. The camp is run by the San Juan Unified School District and is equipped to feed and house large groups of people. We stay in cabins that have about ten beds inside, but because the girl’s team refuses to be separated we usually add about four cots and all cram into one cabin. I’m really looking forward to this weekend but am sad this is my last year to go. I am really going to miss camping with the team.
