YMCA Camp Orkila

Established in 1906, YMCA Camp Orkila provides a diverse outdoor experience that fosters connection with nature for children, teens, and families. Its offerings include a 1,000-foot zip line, an in-ground pool, and a marine center, all integrated into programs promoting exploration, independence, and personal growth.

Camp Orkila ensures inclusivity through scholarships, maintains rigorous safety standards, and teaches environmental stewardship, encouraging campers to respect and advocate for the natural world, the camp offers volunteer opportunities, allowing the community to actively participate in and support its mission.
