Entering grades 5–12 in fall of 2026
The Holdover Session is available only to campers who are registered for two or more consecutive sessions at Camp Orkila. After saying goodbye to your group on Friday afternoon, you’ll join the Holdover group, meet your new counselor, and enjoy a relaxed change of pace with a variety of classic camp activities.
This mini-session includes a cookout, fun group games, and a night sleeping outside the cabin—generally at Camp Orkila’s Enchanted Forest campsite. It’s a great way to recharge, make new connections, and get ready for the next week of camp!
Cabin Assignments: Groups generally sleep out under tarps, organized by gender identity and/or personal comfort.
We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have created our pricing options and developed a voluntary sliding fee schedule. Simply select the price most appropriate for your family. Your selections are completely confidential and do not impact the quality of your participant’s experience.
$150 non-refundable deposit is required for all registrations and is applied to the total amount due.
Price A reflects the full price of sending a participant to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including industry leading training and staffing, support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements.
Price B is partially sponsored by funds generously contributed by our supporters to help families unable to afford the full price of the program.
Price C is our most accessible rate, supported by generous contributions from our donors to ensure a positive camp experience for as many participants as possible.
Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest price still creates a financial barrier that prevents you from participating in our programs, we invite you to fill out a Financial Assistance Application. Once we have reviewed and approved your application, you will receive an email confirming the percentage you have been awarded.* A $50 deposit is still required to confirm your reservation.
*We are only able to offer financial assistance for one registration per participant each summer.
