The Stockholm training camp is aimed at M/W17’s and is held around the middle of August. Accommodation is at the ‘OK Ravinen’ club hut and because of its proximity to central Stockholm use is made of public transport to training and competition venues. The camp usually accommodates 16-20 athletes. For more information, have a look at the Stockholm Page on the JROS website.

Spending almost 2 weeks in Sweden was a fantastic experience, offering a great chance to improve your orienteering in the beautiful (and challenging!) Scandinavian forests. But away from the terrain, there was plenty of time to go swimming in the many lakes, sightsee in the diverse city of Stockholm or just relax with friends.
It was brilliant to be able to escape Sheffield, and immerse myself in the Swedish culture - buses and trains that are reliable, saunas, cinnamon buns (kanelbullar!), and their orienteering events - with even smaller events complete with commentary, catering, traders and drinks points on courses - something you just don't get back here in the UK. Brilliant fun - definitely worth the effort of the selection races, for the great time you'll have and the friends you'll make!
