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. Cabins were formerly open-air, however doors were added for the summer of 2017. While cabins make up the majority of the living space on property, there are many staff-specific living spaces, as well as the
Dederer Conference Center, located near the entrance to camp which serves as director housing during the summer, and is used for guest housing as well as staff housing during the spring and fall seasons. The YMCA also owns Satellite Island as well as a 10.5 acre property in Moran State Park known as Twin Lakes. Satellite Is used by both traditional campers for one night island trip each week, as well as a location for Orkila's Teen Expedition participants to stay as a part of their expeditions throughout the San Juan islands. Twin lakes fills a very similar role, while remaining on the island, and is accessible by a 2.2 mile hike.
