YMCA Camp Orkila

Camp Orkila is located on the northwest tip of Orcas Island in Washington State and is perfect for exploring rugged beaches, calm bays and the neighboring San Juan Islands.  Camp Orkila's 280 acres face Presidents Channel and the Canadian Gulf Islands, which provide a 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.
