Happenings around the island

Here are a few pictures of interesting happenings around the island. Our day campers visited the fire department a few days ago, and today we got to watch a Coast Guard training exercise from the beach.

Coast Guard training exercise. They were nice enough to fly by and wave too!

Session 4 Video: Beach Walk

The beach here at Camp Orkila is wonderful. We take campers on beach walks so that they can find and learn about the many forms of life on the beach. Watch and learn more!

OSI Art/Service Project


The OSI (Orkila Summer Interns) designed and created this mosaic-like rock sculpture of a majestic orca whale.  It's located right next to the main office and the basketball court.  Awesome.

Dan Jay was not an OSI service project, but he was painted blue for a recent all camp event!
