All Saints Camp has become a favorite venue for North Texas orienteers over the decades! Situated on the picturesque south shore of Lake Texoma, this camp includes over 600 acres of wooded, sometimes hilly terrain and an extensive trail network with lots of unique structures. It’s a beautiful venue and a wonderful time of year to be in the woods.

Registration
Online pre-registration is highly encouraged! We use the pre-registration numbers to determine how many pre-printed maps to produce for each event. In particular, group leaders, please pre-register or drop the Registrar an email to talk about your group’s size. We do print a modest number of extra maps, and day-of-race registration is permitted. But there’s no guarantee you’ll have a map. Pre-registration is FREE and opens about 10 days before each event. so please take a moment to do it. Thanks!
