EVENT OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Lacamas Lake Park orientering meet! This is the first classic orienteering event for 2021. Lacamas  Park is a large wooded area near Camas, WA. The park is hilly, with a complex network of canyons and spurs. Cliffs and rock outcrops are abundant. There is an extensive trail network. Open rocky areas showcase wildflowers; however most of the vegetation is lush, and trail running skills will come in handy. Note that there is poison oak in the park. Long pants and/or gaiters are recommended for the advanced courses.

Electronic scoring (e-punch) will be used on all courses on event day.  Learn more about e-punch here.
