Christmas Camp Info

Hello Nordic Ski Families,

As you know, very shortly after Christmas, the MWS Nordic team will have the opportunity to attend a 3 night/4 day ski training camp in Rangeley.   Some important information about camp is outlined below—please read carefully and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Susan or Sarah.  There will be other information posted on the blog closer to the departure time, so please continue to check that!

1.     Camp location:  Saddleback Mtn Ski Area, Pierce Family lodging at Rock Pond Condo unit#34. 

2.     Travel logistics/chaperones:  A Merriconeag van (maybe 2) and several cars will be leaving Desert Rd in the morning (exact time TBD) on Friday, December 27^th and returning the afternoon of December 30^th.  We will send an email on the morning of December 30^th, letting parents know our approximately return time home.  Chaperones for the trip are Dan and Sarah Pierce, Jason Donahue, Susan Sonntag and John Tarling.

3.     Food:  Skiers should pack a lunch for the first day and should bring bars or other handy snacks to carry while on the trails.  Healthy meals will be provided for the remainder of the trip.  If you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, please let Susan know ASAP.  (If any family would like to send along cookies, brownies or bars, it would be greatly appreciated)!

4.     Packing List:  A full packing list is posted on the blog in a separate post.

5.     Contact information:  There is no landline at the condo and cell phone reception is not very reliable.  We can, however, receive emails/texts so this is the best way to communicate with us during the weekend.  (Dan 776-0503, Sarah 776-4959, John T. 807-1919)

6.     We will assess the cost per family upon our return and families will be billed.  Costs will include food, trail passes and gas, and are estimated to be not more than $125.

7.     Questions?  Ask Sarah or Susan.

8.     We are really looking forward to a fun, healthy and safe trip for everyone!
