Session 3A - Leadership Development Institute w/ Kayaking
Description
Entering grades 9-11 in the fall of 2025.
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.

Is one session of camp not enough? Register for a holdover night between sessions 2 and 3 or 3A to extend your camp experience.

We are committed to making YMCA Camping and Outdoor Leadership programs more accessible for everyone. We have lowered 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 camper’s experience.

Price A reflects the full price of sending a camper to the program selected. This level represents the full price of camp operations, including 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 the lowest price, funded by generous contributions donated by our supporters to the greatest extent possible.

Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent anyone from participating in our programs, including financial barriers. If our lowest prices still create 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. The percentage awarded will automatically be applied to your account and be reflected in your final balance. A $50 deposit will still be required to confirm your reservation.
