Camping Trip 2014: Everything you need to know!

Camping Trip 2014 is almost here!  

Click HERE for all of the information.  This is updated.

You will find the 2-day itinerary, campsite assignments, food & drink assignments, etc.

PARENTS and MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETES:  Please come to dinner on Thursday!  You do not have to bring anything, but if you want you can bring a dish to share or some meat to grill.  

We will be at the NORTH SHELTER in Blackwell Forest Preserve.  

We will also have a guest speaker, Palatine XC Head Coach Chris Quick (author of the book "One Way- Uphill Only", and coach of 2011 State Champs.)

Here is a map of Blackwell:  http://www.dupageforest.org/uploadedFiles/Content/District_News/Plans_and_Projects/blackwell%20south.pdf

The NORTH SHELTER is the shelter on the northern tip of Silver Lake as you look at the map.  If you enter Blackwell on Butterfield Rd., just keep following the main road around and you will eventually run into it.  It is the shelter closest to the campground that has a grill.

Campers:  There are showers available.  

We will have a campfire later in the evening for the team at 1 campsite only-  Campers will not be allowed to build their own fires at each campsite.  We'll have smores, etc.  

Right now the weather looks great.  Should the weather turn ugly once out there (lightning, storms, etc.), we will take shelter in the building by our campsite.  Please sign up for text alerts on Remind 101 if you have not done so.  If we need to get any info out or need parents to come pick up campers, we will use this text alert.  Here is the link if you need to sign up for text alerts:

We have a school bus dropping us off on Thursday and picking us up Friday morning.

We will have parent/coach's cars out there as well if we need a vehicle in case of emergency.

Please read all information thoroughly and if you have any questions or I left anything off, please contact Coach Derks-  630-608-9531
