WHISTLER CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING CAMP
Get a jump start on the upcoming Cross-country season. Plans are unfolding for the first ever NorWester/West Van Track Club's Joint Cross Country Training Camp at Whistler BC from August 25 - 28, 2003. This camp follows our very successful Spring Break Camp and promises to provide each high school athlete with tools to improve their performance in cross-country. We would like to see a good representation of North Shore High School athletes attend so the support of High School coaches is encouraged. Depending on the number of campers taking part, we may have a few rooms available for parents who would like to spend a few days at the site of 2010 and breathe in some of the excitement that will be brewing in Whistler. For complete information see the Norwesters T&F Club website at: http://norwesterstandf.com/xc-camp.html
