Cane Quest Pacific Northwest

Cane Quest events test students in a variety of skills, ranging from basic travel and cane techniques to sound perception and navigating public spaces and transportation. Students should be familiar with the skills in their competition class checklist but do not have to have mastered them.

• All participants must submit an application form completed by an orientation and mobility specialist.
• All participants must submit a permission form signed by their parent.
• All participants must use a white cane during the competition and wear closed toe shoes.
• All participants must compete in-person.

There is no cost for any student to participate in Cane Quest.

The 2022 Cane Quest Pacific Northwest competition will be held in and around Leona Libby Middle School in West Richland, Washington state.

Students will be monitored at all times during the competition by certified orientation specialists or outreach specialists, as well as volunteers. Students competing as Scouts & Pathfinders will compete alongside their parent or a sighted volunteer, who will be blindfolded for specific portions of the competition.
