IMX CAMP CANCELLED
It is with much regret that we inform you that we will be cancelling the IMX Camp for this weekend. We have tried to look at different scenarios to make the camp happen but in putting safety first, which is the most important thing, there is not one that really makes sense. The ground is frozen from a week of extremely cold temperatures and snow, ice and/or sleet appear to be imminent across the majority of the state. While we know the camp is important to the swimmers, with the winter weather and treacherous driving conditions this will produce we feel everyone’s safety is more valuable.
All Campers will receive their Camp apparel in the coming weeks. An update will be emailed to the families in the near future. Stay Tuned, and Stay Safe this weekend! #NCSBetter2Gether #WEARENCS
