“Lacamas Little League” Name in its Waning Days

The Lacamas Little League Board voted Monday night at Forest Home Park to officially change its name to Camas Little League. The name change will be gradually phased in during the 2013 season, and will include a signage and branding overhaul.

Several members of the board have been researching the effects and cost of the change, based on input from league parents and community members, as well as confusion about the name “Lacamas” from other leagues.

Lacamas Little League Board members felt it was time to identify the league specifically with the city of Camas. Prior to the name change to Lacamas a dozen years ago, the league was formerly called Camas-Washougal Little League. During that change, most ball players living in Washougal became members of what is now called East County Little League.

The league had been preparing to make new All-Star uniform purchases for the 2013 season, and felt this was a good time to make the transition.
