WC2- Sat- Last Day of 2011 camps- Thank you!
Although completely exhausted, the staff had huge smiles and compliments for the campers this week. I believe that one element that sets ELITEAM apart is that the staff not only coaches, but actually participates in all of the activities. They are jumping, biking, climbing, cooking, stretching and pushing their limits …
WC2- Fri- Big Vertical & Chicken Walks
Friday started off with a short bus ride to Sugarbush Resort for the 2600 vertical foot hike to the top of Lincoln Peak. Although cloudy, it was nice and cool for the hike. The group did not spread out very much as all the campers were energized and psyched to …
WC2- Thurs- Hot, Hard Core & Hilarious
Mornings start early at ELITEAM, but today started even earlier. A few of the campers had not turned in their cell phones even after a Tuesday warning, so for breaking the rules, eight of them were up at 5:45 for a run at 6:00am with me. A lot of uphill …

WC2- Taco Tuesday with High Ropes, Leg Routines and Donuts
If you said that 6 hours of belaying would fly by, I’d say you were crazy. But when you’re belaying athletes who are pushing their limits at 30 & 40 & 50 feet, and loving it, the time goes by quickly. A lot of goals were reached and surpassed today …
WC2- Mon- Obstacle, Sleds & Relays
Well, the rain held off for a while and we got in our rotation of challenges that included the Obstacle Course, “Pain & Agony” sleds, a Visualization game, and the Nitro. All four challenges focused on a different element of sports. The Nitro was all about Teamwork and it was …
2011- WC1- Inspired Performances
Both the boys’ and girls’ dorms were rewarded with an extra 30 minutes of sleep this morning since they went to bed quietly and on time last night. However, several rooms were still up early because of the excitement of the ELITEAM Olympics! In addition to the quick-feet Slalom, Berg …
WC1- Fantastic Friday
Although the heat did not let up all night, the campers awoke with excitement for the hike up Sugarbush this morning. We were on a tight schedule, so if we wanted to hike the 2600 vertical feet to the summit, we would have to work it. And that’s what we …
