Jackson Camp!

I have been hoping for an amazing post from an athlete but I'll get the ball rolling on this myself.

The Jackson Camp ROCKED!!!!

Thanks so much to Yara & Sam for organizing and even more to their parents for hosting not only the athletes but feeding us for two dinners! The food and the company was stupendous and we really couldn't afford a camp in that area without the support of the families!

We started with a bang on a fantastic run up Phillips ridge! So beautiful with the wildflowers and the views!

That afternoon the athletes all took a ride down the Snake River on a variety of floating devices. A great time was had by all, even Willie! We then spent the evening at the Wiswell house, lovely time and great food!

The next morning we did the most beautiful rollerski I have ever done on the bike path from Moose to Lake Jenny and back! It was almost surreal watching the team ski with the backdrop of the Grand!
The Majestics and the Majestics!

That afternoon the athletes went swimming and cliff jumping and that evening we had another fantastic dinner at the Thomas household.

The next morning was a choose your own adventure with the coaches doing a bike ride from Jackson to Jenny lake, 40 miles, and the athletes doing an awesome hike along a ridge with amazing views!



It was wonderful to see our Jackson athletes and connect with them as well as Nathan, who met us from Idaho!

We really couldn't have had a camp that was more fun, more productive and in a more beautiful place!
