Traditional Challengers is the first step in Orkila’s Leadership Progression. Challengers have the most advanced challenge course opportunities (generally riding Orkila’s giant swing and zipline), repeat some of their favorite games and activities and take on an increased leadership role at camp. Challengers spend one night camping off site. Campers live in cabins based on gender identity or the cabin in which they are most comfortable. Campers are placed in cabins of campers within the same program and similar age or developmental stage.

Is one session of camp not enough? Register for a holdover night between sessions 7A or 8 and session 9 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.
