Camp Orientation

Following Breakfast on Saturday morning Camp Orkila staff will hold an orientation of activities, rules and policies at the campfire pit at 9:00am.   Please inform all your members that this is taking place and please attend.  Many pieces of important information are communicated at this time (including the first snazzler clue).

Cellular Service

If you are at the beach at camp it is likely that your cell phone is picking up Rogers Tower in Canada - therefore making your call international. If you would like to avoid this please walk up towards the parking lot and your phone will pick up a tower from the U.S.  If you do get international charge you can call your provider and have the charges taken off.
