CAMP APPAREL & PRINT PARTY
This year we’re doing something new!
Your official Ultimook camper T-shirt, along with any pre-purchased add-ons (hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, or other apparel), will be distributed by Hot Tees during our Ultimook Print Party before and after the closing 3,000-meter race.
Hot Tees will be printing shirts on-site, giving campers and families the opportunity to watch the process and customize their camp apparel with a variety of optional designs and prints. It’s a fun way to celebrate an incredible week at camp and take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
Please plan to arrive a little early or stay after the race if you’d like to customize your gear.

The Oregon Coast can be cool, windy, and occasionally rainy, even during August. Campers should be prepared for changing weather, cool mornings, windy beach runs, and at least one drizzly day.
