Today at ELITEAM…
We suffered with huge smiles! Today was our “Sufferfest” workout… one of our toughest, but one of our best!
In the afternoon we hit the sandpits, which is always a crowd pleaser. After 3 training runs, it was Game-On! Everyone pushed it to the limit.
This evening was filled with more fun… shum-be poles, crazy relays and the jello drop competition. We ended the day by handing out the 2018 ELITEAM Camper t-shirt, which was designed by Jabes Gifford, one of our ELITEAM campers this week!
As you’ll see from the camper quotes below, we’ve had an outstanding week of tough challenges, pushing limits and huge fun!
(Sorry, we had to skip a few details in the daily report tonight. We lose the internet on campus at 10pm, which is actually great, because we want to go to bed too!)
See you tomorrow at 10am for the ELITEAM Olympics.
CAMPER QUOTES
What was the best part of Sufferfest today and why?
Tinley S- The river because I got to get wet.
Mayson B- The people cheering on the sides and doing everything as a team.
Paul B- I think it was finishing it all because then you realize what you are capable of.
Chuck L- The pain because it makes you stronger.
Connor H- The river walk because the river was cold and I was hot so it felt very refreshing.

What did you learn about yourself this week?
Annie- I learned that if I believe in myself I can do anything I put my mind to.
Harry W- That I can do a LOT if I want to, it’s just the negative and scared side of my mind holding me back.
