LDI Classics is one of our most popular programs. Teens spend two weeks learning to develop their leadership and communication styles, working with youth, and exploring the San Juan Islands on a multi-day kayaking adventure. Participants spend four or five nights on expedition and the rest of their session at Camp Orkila, engaging in youth work activities, team building initiatives, and other traditional camp experiences. After completing an LDI Classics course, teens will have accumulated 10 hours of community service in recognition of their time working with youth and volunteering in the Orcas Island community. Campers are placed in mixed-gender cabins of campers within the same program and similar age or developmental stage.

*No previous experience is required.

We offer a voluntary, two-tiered pricing program based on the needs of your family. This program is completely confidential and in no way affects the quality of the experience your child receives.

$150 Non-Refundable deposit is required for all registrations and is applied to the total amount due.

Tier 1 represents the full cost of camp operations.

Tier 2 represents the full cost of camp operations, in addition to long-term wear, tear, and depreciation. Families who voluntarily pay Tier 2 prices help us to ensure our camps and outdoor properties continue to thrive.

Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest tier price creates a financial barrier that prevents you from participating in our programs, we invite you to fill out a Financial Assistance Application prior to registration opening. Once we have reviewed your application, you will receive a code by email that you can use at checkout to automatically apply your approved award.
