MHS Cross Country Camp 2016

Graves Mountain Lodge August 10th, 11th, and 12th

This is a great opportunity to get prepared for the season, learn about the sport of running, meet many of your future teammates, and generally just have a good time in an outdoor setting. There is no getting around difficult workouts in August but the payoff will be great and there is quite a sense of accomplishment when you’re done. There will also be time for fun camp activities such as swimming,camp fires, hiking and some supplemental sports such as ultimate Frisbee.
