Sticks and Stones (Week One)

Welcome to Year 3 of Sticks and Stones!

Kirk and I wanted to send a reminder with locations / clarifications for next week's MTB camp.  With the change in schedule due to SCASD school changes we openly know that all initial registrants may not be able to make all 3 of the days .. so pick and choose what works .... and pay accordingly.

Most on this list are past participants so please excuse the redundancy in terms of needs (and message, text, or email any other other questions).   Our week progresses with skills and locations .... but know that there will always be a 'sweeper' in terms of not letting anyone fall behind.  I am too going to encourage the carrying of cell phones due to the size and eventual nature of the trails (Rothrock on Friday!).  No worries if they don't have one or prefer not to bring it along.

I will make a text / call list on the first day of camp to ensure the safest environment for the kids.  We will have gatorades and snacks for the riders but also strongly suggest a water bottle or two (a few riders prefer hydration packs as well).   Rider wants/ needs for equipment vary  ... but the obvious necessities are a bike and a helmet.   Beyond that ... some prefer gloves, longer socks for scratches / ticks, athletic shorts and shirt (sweat wicking possibly instead of cotton), and athletic shoes.  It is possible a rider or two may have even progressed at this age to clip in shoes / pedals ... not a mandate for sure though.

Here is the schedule for the week as well as our cell phone #'s for contact before and during the camp (easier now than on arrival for camps .... we of course would like yours as well but can get whenever most convenient).   thanks for your interest and support of Sticks and Stones Youth Camps ... we are really looking forward to the fun!

Wednesday (6/14)  Scotia Woods / Patton Woods

-  Ideally would like to meet at the Circleville Park lot but I know youth basketball will be occurring so let's attempt to drop off in the gravel lot (Patton Woods wooden sign) across the street.  Each day we will have a large blue tent set up to use as a home base.

Thursday (6/15)  Scotia Woods / 'Accuweather' trails

-  Let's meet in the Circleville Park lot ... near pavillions, soccer fields, etc..   Today we will have room to spread out.

Friday (6/16)  Tussey Mt. / Rothrock

-  Meet at the back lot of Rothrock ... just past Tussey Mountain ski area.

Thank you!

Bob and Kirk
