YMCA Camp Orkila

It is open year-round and offers many different programs ranging from conference and retreat hosting to summer camp and teen expedition programs for grades 3 through 12 during the summer, and the Orkila Outdoor Environmental Education Center during the spring and fall.

Camp Orkila's main property is situated on the northwest shoulder of Orcas Island, and is approximately 280 acres in size.

This property includes many cabins for campers to sleep in, as well as two lodges, though only one is currently being used for eating, two campfire pits, low and high ropes team building courses, a junior-Olympic sized pool, a Marine Salmon Center (often called the MSC), a zip-line, a barn, a garden, and many other program areas allowing for a wide range of activities and specialty camps throughout the summer.

The YMCA also owns Satellite Island as well as a 10.5 acre property in Moran State Park known as Twin Lakes.

Twin lakes fills a very similar role, while remaining on the island, and is accessible by a 2.2 mile hike.
