Activities for XC Camp 2024
We have seen the importance for athletes to have an evening to chat with coaches casually. We will be adding Mini-Golf + Rookies (Ice cream location in Lynchburg). This will be a great night for athletes to have an ice cream social with coaches and athletes at a local and college favorite location (and who doesn't love ice cream).
