Special Guests


•We are delighted that two young Danish runners - Ida & Soren Bobach - will be running at the camp. They’re pretty good orienteers:

◦Soren – 2015 World Champion (Sprint Relay), 2014 World Champion (Sprint), five JWOC medals.
◦Ida – 2015 World Champion (Long AND Relay), twelve (!!!!) JWOC medals (2009 – 2011) including SEVEN gold!!

•This is an incredible opportunity to rub elbows with two of the world’s very best orienteers and learn how they train and race.
•We hope that lots of juniors will take the opportunity to meet Ida & Soren and be inspired by what these two young athletes have achieved
