Camas is named after the camas lily, a rare and beautiful flower of the northwest. As a small town across the Columbia River for Portland, OR, Camas is growing into greater vibrancy and diversity every day. Camas days, in mid July, gathers together the crafts people,local buinesses, churches and organizations for a carnival-like atmosphere which people of all ages have a blast at. Our mainstreet is picturesque with hanging potted plants and lights in the winter. Camas is still a mill town, but new buisness are opening up everywhere you look! It’s a great place to raise kids a our school districts are excellent. We recently built a new library which is HUGE and just plain gorgeous. We’re a city with heart and lots of community!
