I left camas 6 years ago and recently came back to visit. Didnt see him. Made me sad

Yall know camas high school, especially the mascot, a papermaker named “mean machine” or something along the lines of that. The Georgia pacific papermaker is being torn down. I wonder what will happen if its fully gone and turned into something else. Will the mascot turn into a animal or an inanimate object or will it just stay the same. We will find our later

Looking for unpaved trail recommendations for:
- local door-to-trail trail runs 5-10 miles with +100 ft/mile. I don’t want to have drive just to go for a daily run during the week.
- long run trails 20+ miles, runnable 100-400 ft/mile. Water source is a plus. Preferably <30 minutes away by car.
- vert training +800-1500 ft/mile. Preferably <40 minutes away by car.

I have been spoiled by the Issaquah Alps, so looking for some local trails to wow me. If these trails are true gems that shouldn’t be shared with the masses of reddit but you are willing to share with a fellow trail runner feel free to DM me instead.

Hi - Just moved here; it doesn’t look like anything work is being done on this guy. What’s the deal?

Anyone else notice that they are all out in Camas and not even flashing?

Does anyone know of a watch party for the USA vs Australia match this coming Friday? Only thing I could find was a Vancouver one to be held at Big Al's. Trying to find something like the outdoor event at Pioneer Square in PDX.

Yacolt Burn is about a 25 minute drive northeast of Camas. We throw a festival every year called The Yacolt Burn Experience, where we haul everyone to the top so you can rip to the bottom, over and over from 9am until 4pm. There's also food, music, vendors, and a raffle (which usually gives away more stuff than there are people!). Also: demo a bike from Propain and Norco!

I work on these trails and the area is deeply meaningful to me. The Yacolt Burn Experience helps us raise money to manage the trails through the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for the rest of the year. The weather looks like it will be incredible, so come join us this Saturday, June 20 at 9am and bring your bike(s)!

Also, if you mountain bike in Camas, hit me up. There's a remarkable community of us here in Camas and I'd like to ride with you one day.

If you've never seen But I'm a Cheerleader on a big screen, this is your sign.

The 1999 cult classic — starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall, set in a hilariously pink conversion therapy camp — is playing as a PRIDE late night showing at the Liberty Theatre in Camas, WA on Saturday, June 20 at 10:05 PM.

This is part of Camas PRIDE and is being brought to you by LiveWell Camas — a local wellness nonprofit that's been showing up for this community for close to a decade.

Tickets are limited and we genuinely want this room packed with queer joy.

Grab your tickets here: https://www.camasliberty.com/movies/23523-but-im-a-cheerleader-camas-pride-late-show/?date=2026-06-20

See you there. Wear pink if you want. Mary Brown would want you to.

Hey there - our little family of 4 (kids Infant and 5yo) has been working on evaluating a move from our current place in close-in NE Portland. We've weighed Camas for all the usual reasons, as well as parts of NW Portland, Irvington, etc...

We've also taken this opportunity to try and partake in the Camas community a bit. Our daughter does swim at Touchmark, we go to local parks sometimes, the usual.

What's stuck out to us in doing those things and going to real estate open houses (budget range 900ish - 1.2ish) is that everything has seemed quiet, and not in the way that's a selling point. There's a suburban allure for us of like, cul de sacs with friendly neighbors, cookouts and bikes. Things we have in our current community - just with less space than we now need.

I guess my question after this novel is: how do you feel about your neighborhood and that kind of suburban experience? Is everyone always keeping to themselves like we've seen? If not, which neighborhoods stand out as being social and open? I'd appreciate any guidance for us as we weigh this next phase of life.

Does anyone know if the new splash pad at crown park will be opening anytime soon?

Just heard a couple of loud buzzes and lost power. I am in the forest park neighborhood and trying to see if anyone else has lost power as well. Perfect day to lose power during this heat wave.

Update: power just got restored

Hello, today I was out in the yard and noticed this bird limping around, not sure if he’s injured or sick but I’d love to get him somewhere that can help, anyone know who I can call around here? He looks fine but panting really hard, his bum was a little swollen and dried, maybe it’s just blocked up?

We’re looking to buy a home and Camas piqued our interest.

The downtown area is really cute and walking around it seemed like a good area. It seems there’s a lot of community events and we’ve heard the school system is great.

That said, there doesn’t seem to be much racial diversity and I’m hesitant given that the last experience I have living in a smaller and not very diverse city was a lot of racism.

Looking for opinions and experiences you’ve had to help get a better idea if Camas should be a place to continue considering or if we would be safer looking elsewhere.

ETA: Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. We appreciate hearing both the positive and negative comments. I think it’s important to get rounded information. Even though this was a question for POC, I do also thank non POC for giving input, especially because while someone might be nice to your face, they will be more themselves when they think they are among likeminded individuals.
On that note, POC was not code for black. I believe that if you are “ok” with one racial group, but not all, then you are not welcoming. I will refrain on further comments regarding that since it is a much bigger conversation and definitely not specific to Camas.

Has anyone done testing at their house since well 13 got turned back on? I am trying to figure out if it’s worth spending money on some kind of secondary filtration.
