Dorothy Fox Elementary Hosts Annual City of Camas Egg Scramble

The Camas Parks and Recreation Department invites the community to the 34^th annual egg hunt, “The Camas Egg Scramble!”  This special event will take place at Dorothy Fox Elementary School, 2023 NW 23^rd Ave., on Easter Sunday, April 20, at 1:30 p.m.  All egg hunting areas start at the same time, unless modified for weather, so don’t be late!  Check out the event’s web page, below, for regular and modified hunt details.

Candy and prize-filled eggs will be hidden in designated egg hunting areas color-marked for age groups 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12.  Camas’ egg hunt is unique in that all ages start at the same time from their designated areas.

Please provide supervision, as all kids must be accompanied by an adult. Participants should also bring a basket or bag in which to collect their eggs.  Adults are not allowed in the hunting areas, except the area for ages 2- 3, or to accompany a participant with special needs.  

All abilities are welcome to join us for this fun event.  A designated Sensory/Adaptive activities area, for our participants with special needs, will be open for play from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. This area has been developed to prioritize accessibility and enhance inclusive activity for all ages.  If you have needs that need special accommodation, please contact Krista Bashaw at 360-834-5307.  Refer to the web page, below, for details on accessible parking and drop-off.

Prizes in the eggs will include candy, toys and prize tokens, which can be turned in at the event to claim a prize. So, make sure to open all the eggs at the event, and please return the empty eggshells so they can be used again next year. The Traditional Easter Bonnet and Contemporary Hat contest will take place at 2 p.m., near the school’s covered basketball structure. This event will be hosted and sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Cascade Park.  And the Easter Bunny will make an appearance for photographs between 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. at the school’s garden, located near the event’s main entrance off NW 28^th Ave.

No registration is required for the egg hunt or the bonnet/hat contest.  But please note, this is one of our most popular events, so please allow time for parking, as spaces are limited. In addition, an accessible parking and a drop-off area have been arranged in the main parking lot off NW 23^rd Ave.

We could not do this without our sponsors, which include Camas School District, Kiwanis, VFW Post 4278, VFW Auxiliary, and WinCo.
