A Good Old Typical DORK DANCE

Staffing for the future


Doesn't this staff look safe, responsible, and of course fun?!? That's because they were!
While this is a Staff Photo from LAST year, we will have a different - yet uniquely talented - staff this summer as well.

In fact, MANY of our American and International staff will be returning! The summer of 2008 will be one to remember, that's for sure...


One is silver and the other's gold

Remember sitting around the campfire and singing Orkila Tabernacle Choir (OTC) songs out of our special little song books?

Well here's one of our most famous songs of all, written by two of our great Orkila Alumni, Pat Tye and Frank Candelario!
