Facts:
This was the 21st Year of Camp for Coach Dekyuter, Coach Blauwkamp and the Zeeland East Coach, Coach Yonker. CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to them they have been organizing and putting on this AWESOME camp for students all these years. They truly have a passion for Cross Country and for the students. Without Them this Camp would not be what it is today .. and it is is for sure one of the most looked forward to events of the season for the students.
The Cook Celeste Kommer has been cooking the meals at camp for the past 15 years. Her children ran Cross Country for Zeeland and she helped out when they went to camp. Since then she has continued to support Cross Country Camp preparing the food for all the runners at Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner !! THANK YOU Celeste you are a truly a blessing to making this Camp Successful year after year.
The cost of camp also hasn't changed much over the years and that is made possible by the generous donations from Request Foods, Spartan Stores, and Meijer. Thanks to them we are able to feed all 80+ kids for 3 days breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This year we would also like to THANK Asics, they donated a bunch of T-shirts that we were able to give away as prizes and they donated Spikes to a number of students.
(*This was made possible because Kate's brother is an Asics rep)
