3rd Annual SLHS Cross Country Retreat - 9/1/12
Location: Anderson Island, WA
Widmann Chalet
12512 – 92nd St Ct
Anderson Island, WA 98303
The Widmann Chalet is a rental cabin on Anderson Island. The island is mostly wooded with many trails, which span about one mile in any direction from the cabin. There is little traffic on the island. The fire department on the island has been notified of our activities on that day.
The goal of this retreat is to create interest in the SLHS XC team and to build a sense of team among the athletes and coaches. We are also trying to create a culture of running, which will help the athletes condition for all their sports. We feel that the retreat will get students excited and give them something to talk about when recruiting their friends. The last two years were a complete success.
