09.03.2010 Swedish MTB-O Conference at Camp
The Swedish Orienteering Federations MTB-O group will be hosting a Swedish MTB-O Conference Saturday, April 10th, at Hotel Åhus Strand. World Champion Michaela Gigon will be one of interesting the speakers.
Per Spik, SOF: "Som vi bestämde på den första träffen i Solna angående MTB-O utvecklingen i Sverige så bör vi ta tillfället i akt att träffas igen i samband med MTB-O campen i Åhus 8-11 april. Jag bifogar en inbjudan till en dagkonferens för lördagen den 10 april. Eftersom det är 150 st av världens bästa mountainbike orienterare på plats så rekommenderar jag att om ni har möjlighet så passa på att medverka flera dagar på campen."
Inbjudan
05.03.2010 Snow slowly disappearing
Month of March has come, and snow is disappearing slowly - now I am looking forward to going to Sweden and drawing the maps. It is going to be cool!
28.02.2010 Deadline tonight
140 riders have sent me final entry. If you did not make the deadline and still want to participate - then send me an email and we will work it out. There are still rooms available and maps will not be a problem - but shirts will be ordered very soon, so you might miss out.
Accomodation C - Strandvillan, the hostel is full. There a still plenty of rooms and villas type A and B.
22.02.2010 Deadline apporaching
I am back from vacation. I have received payments from most entries and updated the list. Thanks. 92 has sent me an entry form. I am missing quite a few people from the preliminary entries list. How about you Swedish guys? No entries yet.
Deadline for entry forms and payments are March 1st.
11.02.2010 February news
A slight change of plans has occurred. Saturday morning the camp cup will most likely be somewhere hilly like Degeberga, since permission for Kronoskogen was not given by authorities. Also the layer of snow is causing a bit of problems since I am not able to draw the maps. Looks like a busy March/April for me. Camp Cup maps will be prioritized.
My access to email next week is limited. If you do not get a reply from me on your entry form and payment - dont worry. I will get back to you Monday 22nd.
There is plenty of rooms in accommodation type A and B. The hostel Strandvillan (cat. C) is almost filled up by the Czech team. Some few rooms are available.
Deadline for entry forms and payments are March 1st.
31.01.2010 Final Entries and Payment
Invitation and entry form are ready.
Invitation: Word document (doc).
Entry Form: Excel file (xls).
Entry list with confirmed payments will be updated every other week. Too see updated list: Confirmed payments entry list.
Note: There is a limited number of spots in each accomodation category.
Deadline for entry forms and payments are March 1st.
21.01.2010 Final Entries Open February 1st.
February 1st the final entry form for Merida MTB-O Camp 2010 will open. I expect the final invitation to be published next week. Deadline for entries and payments will be March 1st.
21.01.2010 Merida sponsor of Merida MTB-O Camp
The name of the camp has officially changed to Merida MTB-O Camp.
09.01.2010 Snow in Sweden
I am getting a lot of emails about when you should do the final registration and how much the camp will cost. I have not finalized agreements with Hotel Aahus Strand yet, but expect the price for full camp will be somewhat the same as last year. About 250-300 euros incl. accomodation, 2 meals a day and trainings, competitions etc.
Also Pan Kristianstad is considering taking over 1 or 2 of the trainings during April 10th and 11th and making them part of the Swedish MTB-O Cup, which I think is likely to be established in 2010 by the new SOFT (the Swedish Orienteering federation) MTBO group.
What should you do?
If you are already signed up for a preliminary entry, check back on this website every other week. I am hoping a bulletin will be ready by February 1st.
Expect the deadline for payment to be around March 1st.
I you are not preliminary signed up yet, send me a mail.

I am still working on getting permissions, finding the right maps and organizing accomodation. It looks like it will be great. Preliminary entries are updated every other week. Stay tuned!
22.09.2009 September news
Camp dates, April 8th-11th, are now official. I am receiving lots of preliminary entries. Thanks. I am updating the entry list every other week.
However there are still some uncertainties about the camp. I have not yet confirmed permission to use the terrains, and accomodation is not yet settled. OK Pan Kristianstad have been extremely helpful so far, thanks for that.
I hope to bring good news in October. All I am saying is - don't book flights yet. :-)
24.08.2009 Change of dates
Since Portugal has been given WRE dates April 17-18th I am considering changing the dates of Merida MTB-O Camp 2010 one week to April 8th-11th instead of April 15th-18th. The decission will probably not be ready until October.
12.05.2009 Welcome
Be sure to register well in advance. Only about 100 spots for you in 2010. Preliminary entries can be sent to johan.jacobsen@gmail.com. The schedule for Merida MTB-O Camp 2010 will be announced in August.
