Misty Morning



It's now a gorgeous sunny day at Orkila, but this morning we were enveloped in a beautiful fog bank.  The moisture from the fog really made the autumn spiderwebs at camp stand out.  Environmental educator, Kay Sadowitz, took these photos of the Marine Salmon Center and of educator Jordan Bright teaching a marine invertebrates class to Island View Elementary students.

Odyssey High School at Orkila

 

Odyssey High School visited Orkila this week for team-building and outdoor fun.  Students hiked Turtleback Mountain, kayaked in the Orkila Bay, built geodesic domes and rope bridges, and worked in teams on our low ropes course.  Odyssey is one of eighteen Outdoor Environmental Education groups that will visit Orkila this fall season.

OEE Is Back In Action!


Camp Orkila would like to offically welcome back all its wonderful, talented, creative, hilarious, and of course, instructive OEE Instructors. After their time away from the hustle and bustle of Camp Orkila's Outdoor Environmental Education, these fine people are ready to get back in the action! Take a look for yourself!


 Here is the lovely Ms. Emily holding a rather large, well shaped stick. What is she doing with this stick? She is getting ready to instruct young minds on how to build a geodesic dome! Mr. Buckmister Fuller would be quite proud!

Wood is hard at work here in the Program Office - good thing he has on his one of a kind, Wood-sized helmet (really the only helmet that will fit over all those dreds), to protect him from all that ardous computer work. Just kidding!



Now here is a picture perfect moment of the true spirit of OEE. Look at all thoes rapt young individules ready to take in all the knowledge Austin has to impart upon them! Wonderful!
And here is Jordan; a wonderful teacher, to be sure, yet it seems as though summer has taken a toll on his knot tying ability. No worries! It's like riding a bike, but a little more floppy.


Like I said, OEE is back in action and we are all super thrilled about it!
