Olympics Full of Intense Action
The tradition at ELITEAM on Saturday mornings includes a sleep-in, but on one condition… the campers must go to bed quietly and on time Friday night. If they’re good, then we get to skip morning run & stretch, and the kids (and coaches) get to sleep in. Despite last week's …
WC2 Fri… It’s Raining Baby
For the first time at Eliteam this summer, we had to change our schedule due to weather. Our planned hike was rained out this morning, so we opted for a mish-mash of activities in the gym instead- dance practice, agility relays, Berguntal competition, Dodge Ball & Kick Ball. And later, …

Friday Fun
Friday's morning run and stretch started out in a drizzle, but by the timewe had breakfast and began our hike up Mad River Glen it was partly sunny.The group stayed in a tight formation as we hiked to the top of theDouble Chair in just under an hour. What a …
