Information for the 2013 Atlin Training Camp
June 28- July 1, 2013
Hello everyone, I am including the information for the
camp in Atlin next week. We will leave on Friday June 28, at 8 am from the Ski
Chalet. We will meet in the parking lot of the Mt-McIntyre Recreation Center
(wax room). For skiers wishing to get a ride from the Carcross Cut-Off, we will
stop there around 8:15 am. Note that we will return to the same location the
following Monday, July 1 in the afternoon
~ 4 pm.
Camp Schedule
Friday: Leave
Mt-Mac at 8:00 am. Stop at the Carcross Cut-Off ~ 8:15 am. We will drive to White
Mountain for our first hike of the camp. Make sure you have in your day pack,
all your hiking gear, a lunch and water for the hike. Also have a small bag
with a change of clothes for after as well as your swim suit, towel and sandals
so we can go and rinse in little Atlin Lake.
After the hike, we will drive
to the Pine Creek campground in Atlin where we will set-up our tents for the
camp. We will go to Como Lake after dinner for a bit of fishing for those of
you interested.
Saturday: Go
for a long day hike (~ 8 hr) up Sentinel Mountain. Bring enough food, water for
a lunch and snacks along the route. Recommended footwear for this hike is
hiking shoes or sturdy running shoes. After the hike, we will go to Palmer Lake
to rinse off so make sure to pack your swim stuff. In the afternoon, there will
be individual meetings with each athlete.

for a long day hike near Surprise Lake along Ruby Creek. This should be a 4-5
hour day hike up a beautiful alpine ridge. Do some circuit training in the
afternoon.

Monarch Mountain. After lunch, we will pack the camp and start driving.
