Come and have fun learning orienteering!

We are looking for juniors aged 10-20yrs who would like to have fun with other juniors while learning and playing games related to orienteering. The camp will include sprint training activities, an O Craft game, knockout sprint practice, the Shelley Metro event and lots more! Beginners Welcome.

The camp is based at the Point Walter Recreation and Conference Centre in Bicton. The camp will run over three days and three nights on January 9-12, 2026. The activities will be led by a team of OWA coaches both on site and off-site on metro area maps, such as uni/school campuses, Manning Park and at the Shelley MetrO orienteering event (parks and streets). 

• The camp will start at 5.00pm Friday 9^th January, and will finish at 2pm, Monday 12^th January at Point Walter Recreation and Conference Centre, Bicton.
• Parents are expected to transport their children to/from the camp. If this is not possible please indicate this on  the registration form and we will try to find alternative transport.
• The camp is subsidised by OWA so will only cost $150 per junior orienteer. This includes accommodation, meals and activities.
• The camp is open to anyone aged from 10 to 20 years who has participated in at least one bush, Navdash or MetrO event in addition to any school events and is a full OWA member. Casual members will be charged the cost of junior membership ($30) in addition to camp fees, i.e. you will become a junior member of OWA.
• Activities will include participation in the OWA Metro event at Shelley, on the afternoon of Saturday 10^th January. The juniors will be transported to and from the event by bus. Parents are encouraged to join us at this event.
