Camping

There are at least two convenient camping locations for the Keystone Capers event.  Both locations are at Keystone State Park and accommodate all forms of camping.  If you want to camp at Keystone State Park, you should make your reservations early; they have a lot of camp sites but in the summer, they tend to fill up. Also, in case you are unaware, alcohol is not permitted in Pennsylvania state parks.

Food & Other Services

The  Detail Map of Delmont shows the location of various services.  The Blue Numbers show the three hotels listed in the lodging section.  A few streets are shown and the locations of various restaurants, stores and other businesses that may be important to you are marked with Purple Letters according to the legend.  As points of reference, there are stop lights at the intersections of either Route 22 or 66 and each of the shown streets.  There are also stop lights on Route 66 where it passes under Route 22.  There are no other stop lights on either Route 22 or 66 within the area outlined as Delmont.

In addition to the restaurants in Delmont, you can find many additional ones by going five or six miles to the west on route 22 to the town of Murrysville.  All of the following are along route 22 in that six-mile stretch:  Atrias, Cozy Inn, Dick's Diner, Eat 'n Park, Five Guys, Hoss's Steak & Sea, Hot Rod Lounge, KFC, Panera Bread, Pasqualino's Italian Eatery, Rick's Sports Bar & Grill, Table Grill and several Chinese/Asian restaurants.

Saturday Dinner

There will be a spaghetti dinner on Saturday evening at the Delmont Fire Hall.  The dinner is at 6:30 pm and the cost is $9 for an adult and $4.50 for children under 12 (children under 5 eat free).  The dinner will consist of spaghetti, sauce with or without meat, salad, bread, dessert and drinks (coffee, ice tea, lemonade, water).  It will be an all-you-can-eat affair so bring your appetite.

Driving directions:  From the junction of Routes 22 and 66, take 66 north to the first traffic light.  Make a sharp left onto Manor Drive.  Then, take the first left onto Abbe Pl and after a short distance another left into the fire hall driveway.  Drive around the building to the parking.  See location M on the  detail map of Delmont  The fire hall is less than a mile from the hotels in Delmont.  The map also shows an alternate route to the fire hall from the Holiday Inn Express.

Baby Sitting

Baby sitting is offered during the competition on Saturday and Sunday for those who reserved and prepaid for the service.  The service will be near the playground area on both days.  A playground is about 250 meters from
Competition Center on each day.  In addition, if you want to allow your children to get wet while under baby sitter supervision, there is a spray park at Deer Lakes Park (Saturday) and a beach at Keystone State Park (Sunday).  Please pick up your child within a reasonable time after completing your course.

In-Park Services

Berman's Orienteering Supply is planning to be present both days.  Go Orienteering is planning to be at the event on Saturday only.

Emergencies

First Aid
Each day at the Competition Center there will be a qualified EMT to provide any first aid that is needed and to help evaluate any more serious situations that arise.

Cell Phone Service
If you have a cell phone, you may be able to call 911 in the event of an emergency.  Cell phone service is spotty in both parks and is especially bad in the low lying areas.  If you would rather try to contact event officials, you can try to call 814 619-5401  This number will be printed somewhere on all maps.
