Volunteer Opportunities

During the regular season we provide a variety of snacks and hydration for all the runners. Snacks include items like gallons of water, chocolate milk, juice, Gatorade, fruit, mini/regular bagels, granola bars, fruit bars, apple sauce, peanut butter single serve, fruit snacks, skinny pop popcorn, goldfish, string cheese, mini muffins, and more. Similar to Team Unity Dinners, 2 parents organize a Signup Genius to collect snacks for each meet. Parents donate items or donate Costco gift cards or cash for team parents to purchase.

Unlike other sports, no one is benched in XC. All athletes run a 5K and all athletes need to fuel and replenish to stay healthy and run their best. Runners also have long wait times before and after they race. Snacks are vital! Please consider donating for each race. 

Typically, we need 10-20 parent volunteers to host our home meets. It's fun and easy! Be on the lookout for a sign up when the date(s) approach. 

Due to the large number of athletes, hotel rooms fill up quickly. In the past, families have reserved rooms in September (most reservations can be canceled without penalty) to ensure a place to stay. Families also drive up and back in the same day. 

The State Team travels to Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco, Washington from Camas High School. The State Team is sent off by the band and student body. Parents also create and organize swag bags for all qualifiers. The runners love it!! After competition, the team eats dinner before heading home. Parents are welcome to attend.

The end of season banquet typically occurs the Tuesday after the State Meet. The banquet is for all athletes. At the banquet, families organize one last dinner to share together. It is always amazing since "family favorite dishes" are brought for all to enjoy. Awards and recognition, as well as, a tribute to Seniors will also take place. You won't want to miss it.
