We do not want the cost of attending camp to be a barrier to any student. If the registration fee is a stretch or you just don't have it, please contact Angela Pederson in the district office. We have funds available to assist students. We keep your information confidential to ensure your privacy.

Our PTO has donated to the Camp Orkila fund to allow for a reduction in fees for students.

Registration Fees for 2022:

$120 per student

$160 per adult chaperone

As of February 15th: We will update this information as we get new guidelines from the Y on their requirements for camps.

MASKS are still required, but this may change to optional masks by the time camp starts.

Anyone unvaccinated will be tested at school prior to camp.

We will update you on COVID restrictions and requirements a few weeks before camp starts.

If your student is not currently taking medication, they may be by the time camp starts, so please review this information from our school nurse.

In preparation for your student going to Camp Orkila there are a few things you need to know about your student and medications.

If your student currently has medication at school (inhaler, epi-pen etc) you do not need to complete any additional medication authorization forms and those medications will go to camp with your student's teacher.

If your student takes any daily or as needed medications (allergy medications, seizure medications, thyroid medications, advil, tylenol etc), I will need a health care provider authorization form signed by both you and the health care provider. The medication will need to be in the original container (no baggies or medisets will be allowed). Please only send enough medication for the 3 day trip and keep the rest at home.

Sometimes students start taking medication for an illness or other issue right before camp. We need those authorizations so we can continue to administer the medication. We also have students who have seasonal or situational allergies, for example they are fine at school but if they are going off into the woods they need allergy medication. We will need authorization forms for those medications even if they are over the counter.

We cannot administer medication on the trip without the forms.

The completed forms and medications will need to be at school no later than April 15th so that I can get everything ready to go to camp.

If you have any questions, you can reach me by email or 360-629-4349.

Thank you,
