The city is about 20 miles (32 km) east ofPortland. Historically, the commercial base of the city was almost solely the paper mill; however, the diversity of industries has been enhanced considerably in recent years by the influx of several white-collar, high-tech companies. These includeHewlett-Packard, Sharp Microelectronics,Linear Technology,WaferTechandUnderwriters Labs. Annual events include the summer "Camas Days", as well as other festivals and celebrations.
