Camp Orkila is located on the northwest tip
of Orcas Island in Washington State and is perfect for exploring rugged
beaches, calm bays and neighboring San Juan Islands. Camp Orkila's 280
acres face Presidents Channel and the Canadian Golf Islands and are the
backdrop for the most colorful sunsets imaginable. Our preserved forest
and private beach are the setting for an extraordinary range of outdoor
activities.
The true Northwest experience begins with the journey from
Seattle, WA to beautiful Orcas Island and continues as you discover the wonders
of the outdoors through values-based programs that emphasize respect,
responsibility, honesty, caring, faith and fun.
Camp Orkila is a year around facility dedicated to providing opportunities for
the entire family to connect with the outdoors. A wide array of programs
is available for you to choose from including:
> Youth and Teen Summer Overnight Camp
> Teen Expedition Trips
> Adventure Education
> Family Camp Weekends
> Women's Wellness Weekends
> Conference and Retreat Programs
> Outdoor Environmental Education Programs
> Marine Science Programs
> Day Camp and Swim Lessons for Orcas Island's convenience
All programs and activities are age appropriate and follow the "challenge by choice" philosophy in which you choose the degree to which you participate in any event.
