In October nearly 500 YMCA Camp Staff and Volunteers gathered in Colorado to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of YMCA Camping. The following video was produced for the event. Camp Orkila is well represented in photos, songs and words. Check out the credits at the end and pay close attention to the final song. How many Camp Orkila photos do you recognize?

Orkila Can Act!
Orkilans Excel Onstage
Orkila Alumni Eli Zavatsky and Andrew Guy performed a bit of Shakespeare over the last two weeks, as they helped Garfield High School put on a modern rendition of "As You Like It."
A huge kudos to these gentlemen and a big thank you to Garfield High School for an excellent show. For their next showing check out http://garfieldstage.org/.
Eli was an Orkila Summer Intern this past summer where he practised his theatrics and antics for his role as Touchstone the clown. Andrew excelled as Charles, the wrestler, and was a Counselor in Training this past summer.
If you know of Orkilans who are active in the community, who would like to share their excellence, please e-mail djarashow@seattleymca.org with the story. November 9, 2010
