The OSA Junior Orienteering Camp was held over 4 days from Monday 14^th July (Urban Sprint training) to Thursday 17^th July. The Tuesday and Wednesday were forest training in a mixture of native forest and Pine forest. Various skills were practised - understanding control descriptions, map memory, compass use, attack points, relocation, as well as fun activities - star relay and maze.

The camp culminated with the Camp Champs which this year were held at Pymton, Rockleigh. 23 juniors competed in the course that they would normally run at ASOC (Senior Boys, Senior Girls, Junior Boys, Junior Girls) plus an easy course was set for the Darts.
