We had Loppet Adventure Camp week last week. A huge thank you to the City Of Lakes Nordic Ski Foundation for providing scholarships for 12 kids from the Boys and Girls Club to enjoy Loppet Adventure Camp for the week. The crew has been looking forward to Adventure Camp week all summer. The camp is a week long all day camp near Wirth Lake where adventurers get to learn and perfect their skills at mountain biking, roller skiing, trail running, orienteering, canoeing, capture the flag and more. Challenges are added each day as the kids skills improve and it is a blast to help the kids go from barely standing on roller skis to competing in a 1 km race. Everyone had a great time last year and it was fun to have a full van of kids ready and waiting even before 'The Club' opened up so that they would be on time to Adventure Camp. Also thank you to Anthony Taylor for helping to transport the kids when my training got in the way.

Getting strong and having fun at Adventure Camp

Fueling right can keep you energized and having fun all day long.. I know I am not the only one with a sweet tooth and fresh fruit is nature's candy. I think Janaya was the most excited about the fruit. Throughout the week we enjoyed fresh apples, plums, nectarines and peaches.

I training 26 hours the week of Adventure Camp and also worked every weekday. It is pretty amazing how the smile on the kids faces can energize you. On Wednesday, Caitlin and I flew out to California for her Uncle Kelly and Fran's wedding. I will miss the crew at the Club but am looking forward to a bit more recovery between sessions.
