Team Campout | Camp Imlu (Elbow Lake)
8/17 – Leave Hellgate at 12pm
8/19 – Arrive back at Hellgate 2pm
Every Hellgate runner is expected to attend the 2022 campout. This is a great team building experience and a fun way to get to know each other. We will spend the days running, eating, playing in the water, and sleeping. Parents are welcome to come up to the camp and spend some time with the team.
Expectations
We allow runners to bring cell phones for emergency reasons only. If there is an emergency or questions we ask that parents call one of the coaches. There are also no athlete cars or driving while at the campout. We will be taking a school bus to and from the campout.
The camp is well supervised, with athlete’s sleeping in one area that will be supervised by the coaches.
We have limited room, you will need to be prepared, but pack smart. We have listed what you will need. Each athlete should only need a small bag in addition to his/her camping gear. We are only there for a total of two days.
We will be providing all food. You are welcome to bring a few snacks for yourself if you would like or if you have special diet requirements.

- Take a left onto Blanchard Creek road (dirt) and proceed about ½ mile until the road forks

- Proceed about 3.3 miles. Look on the right side of the road for a “CAMP IMLU” sign sitting next to a closed state lands gate. The cabin is behind this gate.
