Driving directions:

From the South – Take exit 13 off I-205N toward 224W/82nd Avenue; take 224 West toward Milwaukie, then turn right onto 224. Turn left onto SE Johnson Road.

Attached you will find two sets of maps of the Sabin and Schellenberg campuses. There is a set for Friday and a set for Saturday, each of which includes both the room number and the name of the event in each location. So if you are wondering where your Welding Fab kids need to go early Friday morning, it shows the spot on the Friday Sabin map. The maps also indicate where the lunch time barbeque is going to be, where Skills headquarters will be, and where you can find restrooms or the Main Office and other important items. You will each receive a copy of these maps in your registration packet, and we will have extra copies available in the Skills headquarters area.

If you have contestants in competitions that require computers, they must bring their own computers as well as an extension cord and a power strip.The only exception is Technical Computer Applications.

Friday – Busses should drop participants at Schellenberg for registration and the Opening Ceremony. Small busses and vans must park across the street at Sabin; large busses must park at KMart after dropping passengers. A map to KMart will be provided when dropping off passengers. Shuttles will be available from KMart to SSC and back, and between Sabin and Schellenberg Campuses; participants may also walk between Sabin and Schellenberg using the bike lane and crosswalk.

Saturday – Busses should stop at Schellenberg – ALL Participants must STAY ON the bus. The advisors will go into the Commons and pick up the registration packet. An SSC guide will be available at the front entrance near registration to inform participants which campus their competition is on. After being given their participant number, participants with competitions on Schellenberg will get off the bus and go to their competition area.
