2008 Sass Peepre
national junior training camp
August 17 - 20, 2008
Saint John, New Brunswick
INTRODUCTION
Sass Peepre was a founding Father of orienteering in Canada in the
1960’s and 70’s and this camp is organized in his honour in conjunction
with the Canadian Orienteering Championships on an annual basis by a
team of volunteers. The camp is partially subsidized by the Sass Peepre
Fund, a fund held in trust by the Canadian Orienteering Federation for
the purpose of supporting Leadership of Junior Orienteers.
The camp is suitable for all levels of junior orienteers (age 10-20) who
wish to improve their skills. Camp participants generally perform
extremely well at the Canadian Championships held 1-2 days after the
camp. National Team members and parents form our team of volunteers.
