HLG Cross Country Camp 2011


Our team at the Holland Community Garden






The HLG Cross Country team recently returned home from our annual cross country training camp. This year camp was held at Camp Mirale in Lawton Michigan. We were there for six days and although the focus was on running and preparing for our upcoming 2011 season, we did more then just run. We spent time learning how to face challenges by doing a high ropes course, serving and getting to know our new coach. The high ropes course was espicaly fun as we encouraged and supported our teammates to, push through the fear and uncertaintly. It certainly helped us grow together. We spent at day at Lake Michigan playing in the waves, and running to the top of warren dunes. One of the best things about the week long camp was the service opportunity we had at the Holland Community Garden. This Graden grows naturally organic food for many local charaties including serving local seniors. There we mowed grass, pulled weeds, moved railroad ties and spread about 2 tons of mulch (I could be wrong but it seemed like that much). The trip was a great way to begin a new season and a new era here at HLG, we grew closer as a team, coaching staff and more importantly we grew closer to Christ who has given us everything we need. Here are a couple of pictures from the week. 

High Ropes Fun
