This team trip to Camp Northern Lights is an opportunity for swimmers and coaches to come together before the start of the new season, build stronger team connections, and establish a positive foundation for the year ahead. Through team building activities, time on the land and in the lake, shared meals, and team goal setting, swimmers will develop trust, communication, and a stronger sense of belonging within the team. The camp setting provides a chance to step away from the pool, connect as a group, and prepare for a successful season together.
