Is there a specific part of town, or just in general?

Thanks for the links.

I was mainly trying to figure out where the west side ends, and ?????(next town/area) begins.

It pretty much ends up against the Fisher's Landing area of Vancouver. There used to be a little bit of county space between the two, but I'm pretty sure Camas annexed as much as it could up to the Vancouver boundary.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe ??? the poster is inquiring of the Camas School district boundaries, which could be quite different than city boundaries. ??? (30something may have kids?)

by pasting this "camas school district "+ "boundaries" into Dogpile Web Search Home Page, I got this

http://www.camas.wednet.edu/district/district_info/maps_boundaries.htm] (broken link)

If schools is the case, then the outer boundary (district) seldom changes, tho there may be shifts within the boundary to optimize services

I don't have the time to download the .pdf, but the western boundary is likely 192nd or Parker Ave. Vancouver hogged into that area a few yrs ago, and yes, Fisher's Landing would be the adjacent SE portion of City of Vancouver, that abuts City of Camas, tho I would guess there to be slivers of county property still separating some areas that are averse to joining any city, and which the city is averse to providing services (such as water or sewer) Might require pump stations, blasting, holding tanks...

this county site might help too, Geocortex Internet Mapping Framework
but I would
1) determine if it is City of Camas info desired (maybe for zoning / services / taxes?)
or
2) Camas School District (maybe for kids / jobs) - then contact the appropriate place

Yes, actually, I am interested in school boundries. I notice that on the Camas school district site they have boundary maps for the middle schools, and the elementary schools, but non for the high school. I figured (maybe incorrectly??) that if you lived within Camas boundaries, you would attend CHS?

I would suggest contacting the new Union High School. Since it opened new this fall, the Evergreen district school boundaries have changed. 192nd is basically the dividing line for one section, but it zigs and zags and is not consistent throughout and the middle school and high school are on the very edge of the boundary. They would be able to tell you the dividing lines for Camas HS and Union HS.

We did "boundary exceptions" for HS... b'cuz ours did HomeSchool + 'Running Start' (college) in grade 11 and 12. Some of the districts are less than pleased to have students do RS, since the district has to shell out a few hundred $$ in tuition from the ~$6k they get for enrolling your kid. ...

It really worked great, tho at the time the kids were not impressed, they were grateful to only have 2 yrs college to have pay for, + 2 extra years of earning power and freedom.

A lot of kids do RS, but it is much easier for girls (of which I didn't have any). Several friends have done it in Camas, while continuing to participate in sports and drama and music at the HS, and some even take a few classes there as well. Do some checking if this is a potential avenue, as some schools require the seniors to take "Current World Events" or something like, that if they want to take any classes at the HS, or get a diploma from there. You can also get a HS diploma from the college, and usually are getting your AA too.

Boundary exceptions are usually not hard to get for HS
