A great introduction to the overnight camp experience. Living in single-gender cabins, campers get a taste of all that camp has to offer, including the swimming pool, arts and crafts center, rope-climbing elements, the Marine Salmon Center and much more. Campers also enjoy an out-of-cabin overnight adventure under the stars.

Explorers focus on team-building and developing confidence and competence around camp. Taking the next step as Camp Orkila campers, Explorers do a horseback trail ride, take on more advanced ropes activities and continue with some favorite games and activities. For their out-of-cabin experience, campers embark on an overnight trip to Twin Lakes or Sucia Island.

Challengers join camp's oldest mixed-gender units (while still living in single-gender cabins). They enjoy age-appropriate challenges and develop independent skills. Challengers select their activities during open recreation periods and enjoy 24 hours on Satellite Island or at Twin Lakes for their out-of-cabin experience.
