The Challenges
The philosophy at Camp Orkila is that each person must choose their own personal challenge level. The counselors helped the students to understand what they might feel in their body that indicates that they had reached their threshold and pushed themselves to their ultimate challenge level. At the zip line, some students experienced suiting up and climbing to the top of the tower as their threshold, others found new ways to hold their body as they flew through the air. Challenges presented themselves outside of the designated challenge activities. Overcoming homesickness, connecting with friends, or managing fears of pond creatures. Orkila provided great opportunities for students to stare down their own individual challenges and work through them.
