        John Harbuck will design classic distance courses on the northern end of Riverside State Park known as Camp 7-Mile.

        Camp 7-Mile is a great area for orienteering with varying topography and different densities of forests.

        This will be a B-meet at our regular club event prices.
        We expect more people than usual with possibly some of our friends from the Seattle orienteering club making the trip. Come meet them and give them some good competition!

          Stacks Image 531
          Due to difficulty getting land-use permits in time, Saturday and Sunday's events will be moved to the Fishtrap Lake area, about 30 miles south of Spokane. We'll probably get to see the new Fisk State Park map next summer.

          Cascade Orienteering Club will host this event right here in our backyard. It's the final weekend of their Ultimate Orienteer series and will also be the annual, international, Pig War so there will certainly be some real competitors in attendance.

          Start time details will be posted here when things firm up. See Cascade's page about the event.

              Due to County Park rules, we can't collect money at this venue — so it's FREE for members. If you're not a member, please Venmo Tracy $10 per start on the intermediate or advanced course or $8 for the novice course by early Friday.

              Please be aware that the park collects a $2 per person fee at the gate whether you're orienteering or not. Make it worth it and stay for a lakeside picnic after the event!

                Vampire O

                Family-friendly night event in Manito Park.
                location_on Manito Park, Spokane access_time 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
                Join EWOC for the 16th annual Vampire-O in Manito Park — our only night event of the year.

                30 controls will be placed all over Manito Park. Starting at 6:30, everyone will have one hour to find as many of them as they can and get back to the start before time runs out. Controls have different values depending on how far from the start they are or how hard they are to get to.

                Also — one among you will be a vampire. If the vampire shines the magic red light on you, you'll lose a few points and become the vampire till you get someone else.

                Registration is 5:45 - 6:15 and there will be more people than at most of our events. You'll get your map as soon as you are registered so you can begin planning your route. Rules and the methods for avoiding vampire bites will be explained beginning at 6:15.

                This event is Halloween-themed but meant to be family friendly. Contact course designer Tracy Schoenleber via the                 contact page if you have any questions about whether this event is appropriate for you or your family.
