Entering Grades K–6 in Fall of 2026
At Camp Orkila, day campers participate in theme-based weeks full of classic camp fun, creativity, and adventure. Each one-week session runs Monday through Friday, with camp days beginning at 8:45 a.m. and ending at 4:45 p.m.
Campers are grouped by similar ages or developmental stages and rotate through a variety of activities led by experienced staff. Each day includes traditional camp experiences like games, crafts, nature exploration, and waterfront fun, all connected to a weekly theme. Lunch and an afternoon snack are provided daily.
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.
$25 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 $25 deposit is still required to confirm your reservation.
*We are only able to offer financial assistance for one registration per participant each summer.
