RXCSF Youth Skiing Summer Sessions

12 families, totaling 44 parents and children and three dogs, enjoyed a most excellent camping adventure in the Adirondacks this past weekend.  The three-day camping trip to Cranberry Lake was highlighted by a Saturday hike up Ampersand Mountain.  Hikers were treated to a spectacular 360-degree view from the rocky summit followed by a post-hike swim and beach time on Middle Saranac Lake and an ice cream outing.  The weekend was capped off by a talent show around the campfire where skiers and their parents showcased their abilities (and what a talented group are we!)  Other activities included a Friday hike to the peak of Mt. Arab and its fire tower; marshmallow roasts; a group cookout (thank you Mr. A. and Mr. Witmer!); swimming and biking at the campground; and lots of casual fun.  This excursion, in its third year, has become a favorite event of the group and continues to grow in popularity.  The athletes exhibited outstanding support and encouragement of one another on the hikes and camaraderie throughout the weekend's activities.

We are headed into the second and final month of the Summer Program, which concludes on Saturday, August 28th.  Think sunny thoughts and hopefully we will avoid the poor weather that characterized some sessions in July!  The tech shirts have arrived and Coach Bill will be distributing them this week.
